2014 Map of Cedar Basin

About this map

The Aquarius Cliffs dominate the western edge of this Arizona landscape, overlooking a complex system of drainages and seasonal water sources. Life in this arid portion of Mohave County is centered around managed water points such as Shelton Tank, Antelope Tank, and Swede Tank, which support the ranching operations indicated by Bogles Ranch Rd. The topography is defined by deep incisions like Hawk Canyon, Bull Canyon, and Gordon Canyon, all of which eventually feed into broader systems like Pearson Falls Wash and Big Wash. Toward the south, the namesake Cedar Basin sits surrounded by high terrain, while isolated springs such as Walnut Spring and Cottonwood Spring provide critical reliable water in an otherwise parched environment. The presence of primitive routes like Sycamore Creek Rd suggests a landscape navigated primarily for livestock management and natural resource access.
