About this map

Sacramento Valley dominates the eastern half of this terrain, where the wide corridor of Sacramento Wash trends southward through a landscape defined by scarce water sources. The HJH Ranch is situated in the western foothills, serving as a primary human outpost in an area where life centered around reliable water points like Mud Spring and Cottonwood Spring. Multiple Water Tanks and wells are scattered across the valley floor to support livestock and transit.

Transportation through this part of Mohave County during the mid-1960s relied on a network of unpaved routes, including Hermit Road and Glen Canyon Road, alongside numerous unnamed Jeep Trails. To the south, a series of family-named water sources such as Thorne Spring and Little Thorne Spring appear near Red Rock Spring, marking essential landmarks for those navigating the arid slopes between the high ridges and the valley bottom.
