2011 Map of Garnet Mountain

About this map

Haulapai Valley Joshua Trees stand as a central landmark in this high-desert landscape of Mohave County, where the transition from flat valley to rugged highlands is marked by Garnet Mountain and Iron Mountain. The map documents a sparse but vital network of water sources essential for ranching and survival, including Valley Ranch Spring, Garnet Spring, and Rattlesnake Spring. The area's pastoral history is anchored by Patterson Corral and Valley Ranch, while the more remote Ray Place sits at the head of Iron Spring Wash. In the western reaches, an aspirational grid of street names such as Hope, Prosperity, and Contented reveals modern development patterns intersecting with established routes like Pierce Ferry Rd. This survey captures the juxtaposition of traditional ranching outposts with later 21st-century residential planning in the Arizona interior.
