About this map

The Big Sandy River and Burro Creek converge in this arid section of Mohave County, where the desert landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Poachie Range. By the late 1960s, the map indicates the former location of a community at Greenwood (Site), situated near a Ford on the riverbank. This area preserves a history of ranching and early infrastructure, featuring family-held lands such as Madril Ranch, Rohr Ranch, and Leivas Ranch.

Evidence of resource extraction and utilities appears in the form of several scattered Mines and a high-voltage Substation connected to a major Pipeline that cuts across the northern terrain. Notable landmarks including Burro Peak and Greenwood Peak provide vertical orientation above the deep cuts of Devils Canyon, illustrating the varied topography that dictated early settlement and travel through the region.
