About this map

Boundary Cone stands as a prominent volcanic landmark within the southern reaches of the Black Mountains, overlooking the arid expanse of the Mojave Desert. This 2021 survey illustrates a landscape of extreme topographic relief, where the Ute Mountains rise sharply above the desert floor. The map highlights the intersection of natural geologic features and modern access, tracing the path of Boundary Cone Rd and Co Hwy 153 as they skirt the mountain range.

Relief features such as Wrigley Peak and McHeffy Butte provide essential navigational anchors for this section of Mohave County. The cartography emphasizes the intricate drainage patterns and ridge lines that define the region, while the Public Land Survey System grid marks the transition between various township and range blocks, such as t18n r20w. This contemporary record captures the enduring character of a desert wilderness increasingly framed by human infrastructure like Willow Dr.
