2014 Map of Castle Peak

About this map

Oak Grove sits at the base of the high desert terrain in this section of Mohave County, where the landscape is defined by massive drainage systems like Parashant Wash and its primary tributaries. To the north, McDonald Flat and Penn Valley mark the plateaus, while the prominent landmark of Castle Peak rises above the surrounding draws. The hydrology of this arid region is mapped through a series of essential water catchments and natural sources, including Marys Tank, Lundell Tank, and Log Spring, which were historically vital for cattle and local transit. The southeastern corner of the quadrangle reaches into the protected boundaries of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, showing the intersection of public land management and the open range, where topographic features like Salt House Draw and Snap Draw carve deep paths through the canyon country.
