2018 Map of Buck Mountains

About this map

Buck Mountains dominate this arid landscape within the Mojave Desert of Mohave County. The topography is defined by the drainage patterns of Buck Mountain Wash and Franconia Wash, which cut through the broad expanse of Dutch Flat in the northern reaches of the map. While the terrain is primarily open desert, a complex grid of rural tracks and utility corridors crisscrosses the area. Notable transportation history is preserved in the alignment of National Old Trails Rd, which runs parallel to modern utility infrastructure like Powerline Rd. The map reveals a transition from the lower alluvial plains into the elevated relief of the mountains, with several named residential and service roads such as Spirit Ridge Rd and Franconia Rd indicating modern land divisions and scattered settlement in this remote portion of Arizona.
