2018 Map of Dutch Flat NW

About this map

Dutch Flat and the surrounding Mojave Desert are mapped here in a period characterized by grid-based rural development and western-themed nomenclature. The landscape is primarily defined by its drainage patterns, most notably Cow Cr, and an extensive network of named roads. Many of these thoroughfares pay homage to figures of the American West, including Wyatt Earp Rd, John Wayne Rd, Jesse James Rd, and Geronimo Rd. This specific survey captures the transition of the desert into surveyed tracts, where features like Box Canyon and Cactus Wren sit alongside residential naming conventions such as Boot Hill Dr and Fireside. Researchers can trace the layout of this Mohave County region, noting the systematic road placement that follows the Section and Township lines of the Public Land Survey System.
