2011 Map of Bull Spring

About this map

The Cottonwood Mountains dominate the landscape of this high-desert portion of Mohave County, where water sources are the primary landmarks for navigation and settlement. This 2011 survey details a network of vital watering points, including Bull Spring, Knight Creek Spring, and Cottonwood Spring, which have historically supported ranching operations in this arid region. The presence of numerous man-made catchments like White Rock Tank, Three Sisters Tank, and Rucker Tank illustrates the ongoing management of the land for livestock. Transportation through this terrain is primarily defined by the winding route of Willows Ranch Rd, which follows the natural drainage patterns of Willow Creek and Tuckayou Wash. The map captures a moment of modern ranching life, showing the balance between natural springs and the infrastructure required to sustain life in the Arizona backcountry.
