2021 Map of Buck Mountains

About this map

Buck Mountains dominate the eastern landscape of this Mohave County quadrangle, rising above the arid expanse of the Mojave Desert. The map documents a corridor of infrastructure and historical transit, most notably featuring the National Old Trails Rd, a precursor to later transcontinental highways. The desert floor is bisected by seasonal drainage systems such as Buck Mountain Wash and Franconia Wash, which flow toward the northwest. Modern utility and transport routes like Powerline Rd and Pipeline Rd follow the natural contours of Dutch Flat. Residential and local markers, including Dorothy Rd and Ali Chuk Rd, indicate pockets of desert settlement amidst the expansive township and range divisions of T16N and T15N.
