About this map

Mojave Desert terrain dominates this landscape, where the high peaks of Garnet Mountain and Iron Mtn overlook a network of seasonal washes and isolated springs. The map documents a sparsely populated corner of Arizona, anchored by the Ray Place and a grid of rural residential roads with evocative names like Faith St, Hope St, and Charity St tucked into the western flats.

Ephemeral water sources such as Valley Ranch Spring, Garnet Spring, Wilbur Spring, and Rattlesnake Spring appear scattered across the slopes, indicating the critical nature of water in this arid environment. The drainage patterns of Fox Canyon Wash and Iron Spring Wash define the local topography, carving through Fox Canyon and the Iron Spring Basin before descending toward the desert floor. This 2014 survey captures a moment where modern development names have begun to overlay a landscape once defined strictly by its mountain landmarks and watering holes.
