1979 Map of Dutchman Draw

About this map

Main Street Valley and the adjacent Hurricane Valley define the drainage patterns of this high desert landscape in northwestern Arizona. The terrain is structured by the Twist Hills, which separate these north-south trending valleys. Water management is the primary human footprint on the land, evidenced by a network of engineered catchments such as the Larson-Blake Tank, West Dutchman Tank, and Little Main Street Pond. These features highlight the importance of water security for the ranching operations that historically navigated this part of Mohave County.
