About this map

Dutch Flat and the surrounding Mojave Desert terrain define this landscape in Mohave County, where a grid of modern desert roads bears the names of figures from Old West lore. The map shows a transition from the lower alluvial plains of the flat toward the rising foothills of the Hualapai Mountains. Transportation through this arid region is marked by a network of residential and access roads such as Wyatt Earp Rd, Kit Carson Rd, and Jesse James Rd.

Ephemeral water features like Cow Cr provide the only drainage in an otherwise dry expanse. The settlement pattern is characterized by long, straight thoroughfares including Alamo Rd and Co Hwy 15, interspersed with more localized tracks like Cactus Wren and Red Cloud Dr. This survey captures the rural expansion of the High Desert at the beginning of the 2020s, documenting how traditional ranching or mining access has evolved into a planned residential grid.
