2011 Map of Elephant Mountain

About this map

Elephant Mountain and Grey Mountain dominate the skyline of this Mohave County landscape, where water sources dictate the movement of people and livestock. This 2011 survey reveals a network of vital desert water points including Arrowweed Springs, Hobo Spring, and Arrowhead Spring, many of which sit tucked into the complex drainage systems of Chalk Spring Canyon and Arrowweed Canyon. The presence of Sycamore Camp along the eastern edge, near the confluence of Sycamore Creek and Chollo Ranch RD, suggests the area's continued use for ranching or seasonal backcountry access. From the heights of Neale Mesa to the dramatic drop of Burro Cliffs, the map traces the intricate hydrology of the region, where seasonal flows like Box Canyon Wash and Gray Wash carve through the basin and range terrain.
