2021 Map of Dutch Flat SW

About this map

Dutch Flat defines this arid section of the Mojave Desert in northwestern Arizona. The landscape is characterized by its systematic road network and intermittent water sources, which are critical for land management in this environment. In addition to natural drainages like Crozier Wash, the area relies on man-made catchments such as Township Tank and Desert Tank. The northern half of the quadrangle shows a grid of roads named for figures and icons of the Old West, including Annie Oakley Rd, Wyatt Earp Rd, and S Gabby Hayes Rd. This naming convention, alongside routes like Gold Mine Rd and Cattle Crossing Rd, suggests a region organized around ranching interests and perhaps a nostalgic nod to its frontier heritage. The primary thoroughfare for the southern reaches is Co Hwy 133, which provides the main north-south access through the desert terrain.
