2011 Map of Castaneda Hills

About this map

Castaneda Peak rises from the arid landscape of southern Mohave County, serving as a primary landmark in a region defined by complex drainage networks and volcanic topography. This 2011 survey highlights the seasonal water systems of the Castaneda Hills, where the significant Castaneda Wash and Mohave Wash carve their paths through the desert floor. The distribution of livestock or wildlife water sources is a key feature of this quadrant, with several man-made catchments including Buckhorn Tank, Desert Tank, and Four Hundred Tank scattered across the terrain. Human infrastructure is sparse, represented primarily by the route of Co HWY 133, which provides the only major thoroughfare through this remote reach of the Arizona desert.
