About this map

Cherokee Point overlooks a landscape of high desert drainage systems in Mohave County, where the dry bed of Cherokee Wash carves through the terrain. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a region primarily defined by its hydrology, centered on a network of water tanks essential for livestock and local wildlife. These features, including Black Tank, Antelope Tank, and Indian Tank, are scattered across the quadrangle, indicating the area's ongoing use for ranching and resource management.

The topography is further articulated by several significant canyons, such as Yampai Canyon in the northwest and Blye Canyon further south. The presence of End Water Corral suggests a focal point for human activity and land use within this arid environment. This map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure and natural landmarks of the Arizona backcountry, capturing the spatial relationship between water sources and the rugged canyons of the Colorado Plateau transition.
