About this map

Colorado City sits at the northern edge of this Arizona landscape, defined by a grid of local streets including Arizona Ave and Central St just south of the Utah border. The community’s infrastructure is closely tied to water management in an arid environment, seen in the nearby Short Creek Reservoir Number Two Dam and the Colorado City Post Office. Moving south, the terrain opens into a wide expanse shaped by drainage systems like Cottonwood Wash and the prominent Vermilion Cliffs which dominate the eastern horizon.

Agricultural and ranching heritage is evident through scattered landmarks such as Formaster Tank and the small settlement at Cane Beds. The map illustrates the geographical transition from the high desert canyons, including Skunk Canyon and Scott Canyon, to the more level plateaus. Transportation routes such as Navajo Trail Rd and School Bound Rd provide the primary connections across this remote section of Mohave County.
