1985 Map of Cane Springs SE

About this map

The Grand Wash Cliffs dominate this 1980s landscape in Mohave County, where the high plateau gives way to a complex system of drainage and erosion. A series of deeply incised canyons and dry washes, including Pocum Canyon and Black Canyon, carve their way through the terrain toward the south. These features reveal the intricate water-carved geography of the region before more modern infrastructure altered the more remote reaches of Arizona. The presence of Grass as a terrain label suggests specific ecological zones within this arid environment, likely marking grazing areas or distinct botanical pockets. Researchers can follow the descent from the high cliffs down through the branching networks of Pocum Wash and Hidden Wash, which illustrate the natural drainage patterns that have historically dictated movement and land use in this part of the state.
