About this map

Castle Cliff sits at the base of the Beaver Dam Mountains in this arid landscape where the eastern edge of the Mojave Desert meets the Arizona-Utah border. The importance of scarce water is evident in the naming of several critical water sources, including Welcome Spring, Reber Spring, and Middle Spring. These springs and seasonal drainages like Reber Wash and Burgess Wash have historically dictated movement through this high-desert environment.

Transportation routes such as Old US-91 and Lytle Ranch Rd trace paths through the terrain, connecting this corner of Mohave County to the larger regional network. The inclusion of the Woodbury Study Area Rd highlights the intersection of land management and desert ecology in this part of the Southwest. This 2014 survey documents the enduring physical character of a region defined by its rugged topography and vital springs.
