2011 Map of Cold Spring

About this map

Whitmore Wash and Parashant Wash define the drainage patterns across this high desert landscape in Mohave County. The terrain is marked by prominent overlooks such as Kinney Point and Cold Spring Point, which provide vantage points over the complex network of canyons including Trail Canyon and Road Canyon. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by a series of named tanks and ponds, such as Sand Flat Tank, Rock Basin Tank, and Sinkhole Pond, which supported local ranching and land use. The presence of Death Valley Lake and its associated Death Valley Spring in the northeast corner highlights the critical, scattered water sources of the region. This 2011 survey illustrates a sparsely populated reach of Arizona where the high plateau is broken by significant topographical features like Brown Knoll and Griffith Knoll.
