2014 Map of Diamond Joe Peak

About this map

Cedar lies at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Mohave County, where the eastern reaches of the Mojave Desert meet a series of prominent summits. The terrain is defined by a network of steep drainages, including Gunsight Canyon, Tompkins Canyon, and Crow Canyon, which carve through the elevations between Granite Peak and the namesake Diamond Joe Peak. These canyons and washes indicate a seasonal hydrological system where water management was critical, evidenced by the presence of scattered water sources such as Grapevine Spring, Chappo Spring, and Lower Cypress Spring. This 2014 survey documents the area's topographical character, showing the interplay between the desert floor and the high peaks like Burch Peak and Pine Peak, while outlining the complex township and range boundaries that organize this part of rural Arizona.
