2018 Map of Diamond Joe Peak

About this map

Cedar sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape in the Mojave Desert, where rugged mountain summits and deep drainage systems define the geography. The terrain is anchored by several prominent heights, including Diamond Joe Peak, Pine Peak, and Granite Peak, which overlook a network of canyons such as Gunsight Canyon and Tompkins Canyon. These landforms provide a natural framework for the area's water sources, with Chappo Spring and Lower Cypress Spring appearing as critical points in an otherwise arid environment. The presence of ephemeral drainages like Deluge Wash and Bar L L Wash suggests a seasonal rhythm of water flow typical of the region's interior basins. This survey provides a clear view of the complex topography and sparse settlement patterns across Mohave County's high-desert peaks.
