2011 Map of Castaneda Hills SW

About this map

The Bill Williams River defines the southern boundary of this arid Mohave County landscape, providing a critical riparian corridor through a region of complex drainage systems. Multiple ephemeral washes, including the prominent Mohave Wash, Yucca Wash, and Castaneda Wash, carve northward through the terrain, illustrating the intricate hydrology of the Sonoran desert during seasonal runoff. Man-made infrastructure is sparse, centered on transit routes like Co Hwy 133 and the Planet Ranch Rd, which provides access to the river's edge. Water security in this environment is evidenced by features like Twentysix Tank, a small but significant landmark for local land use. This map serves as a detailed record of the geography surrounding the lower Bill Williams drainage prior to contemporary shifts in regional land management.
