About this map

Grand Wash dominates the drainage system of this Mohave County landscape, where ephemeral watercourses have carved a network of deep depressions and alluvial channels. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation changes and named geographical features like Black Canyon, Hidden Canyon, and Jump Canyon that indicate a topography shaped by seasonal runoff. Evidence of human passage through this remote area is concentrated along Nutter Twists Rd, a winding route that traverses the southern half of the quadrangle. Smaller tributaries like Pocum Wash feed into the larger wash system, illustrating the complex hydrography of the Arizona strip. This 2011 survey documents the natural contours of the land before modern development, focusing on the preservation of traditional land names and the paths that navigate this high-desert environment.
