2018 Map of Devils Hump

About this map

Devils Hump rises above a landscape defined by seasonal water management and dramatic vertical relief along the Mohave and Yavapai county line. The presence of several named water catchments, including Kirk Tank, Devils Hump Tank, and Fred Cook Tank, indicates a ranching or livestock-focused economy where surface water is a critical resource. High points such as Indian Head and Panther Point anchor a terrain cut by deep drainages like Mohon Canyon and Palomino Draw. While the high ground of Cedar Basin provides significant elevation, the winding path of Fork Rock Creek and its access via Fort Rock Rd mark the primary corridor through this high-desert environment. The map details a complex system of canyons in the southeast, including Sewer Canyon and Pine Canyon, showing how water has carved the edges of these mesas over time.
