2011 Map of Centennial Wash

About this map

Centennial Wash meanders across this Mohave County landscape, illustrating a drainage system that defines the local topography. This 2011 survey reveals the arid character of the region, where seasonal water flow and desert terrain intersect. Near the eastern margin, Fisher Camp represents one of the few named human footprints in an area dominated by natural features. To the south, the terrain rises significantly at Black Mesa, overlooking the confluence of smaller desert drainages. The Bill Williams River clips the southwestern corner, anchoring the map to a larger regional watershed. The sparse distribution of man-made structures and the dominance of winding washes highlight a landscape where environmental factors heavily dictate movement and land use.
