1990 Map of Castaneda Hills SW

About this map

The Bill Williams River defines the southern boundary of this arid landscape, winding through a corridor that marks the border between Mohave and La Paz counties. This 1990 provisional survey illustrates a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems, including Mohave Wash, Castaneda Wash, and Paloma Wash, which cut through the high desert terrain. To the south, the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge encompasses the river's riparian zone, flanked by the Bill Williams Mountains and the Buckskin Mountains. Human activity is sparse but evident through scattered prospects and a network of wells. A prominent transmission line traverses the center of the sheet, while a remote Landing Strip and a series of levees along the wash banks suggest focused infrastructure in an otherwise undeveloped desert expanse.
