2021 Map of Cave Mountain

About this map

Afton Canyon and the surrounding desert peaks define this segment of the Mojave Desert corridor. The geography is dominated by the Mojave River as it passes through the mountain gaps, leaving the Mojave River Wash as a primary landform. To the north, the Cronise Mountains overlook the Cronise Valley, where historical transportation routes converge. The map documents the persistent alignment of the Arrowhead Trl and the Basin railroad siding, illustrating the long-standing transit infrastructure required to navigate this arid basin-and-range environment. The southern portion is anchored by the Cady Mountains, where Baxter Wash drains toward the central river valley, showing a landscape shaped by intermittent water and high-relief terrain around Cave Mtn.
