About this map

Dutch Flat and the surrounding arid lowlands of the Mojave Desert characterize this portion of Mohave County. The landscape is defined by its water sources, where named springs such as Beecher Spring, Pipeline Spring, and Ox Yoke Spring provide critical points of reference in an otherwise dry terrain. Drainage patterns are clearly marked by the winding path of Crozier Wash, which flows south toward Crozier Tank.

Erosion has carved several prominent landforms into the high ground, including Beecher Canyon and Tompkins Canyon. A sparse network of local roads, such as Alamo Rd and Chicken Springs Rd, provides access across the township lines. This survey captures a moment in the modern management of these public lands, illustrating the continued importance of livestock or wildlife tanks like Roadside Tank and Little Tank in the desert environment.
