2021 Map of Gunsight Canyon

About this map

Big Sandy River defines the eastern edge of this arid Mohave County landscape, where deep drainage systems like Deluge Wash and Pearson Falls Wash cut through the high terrain. The map captures a transition between the river corridor and the elevated interior of the Hualapai Mountains foothills, centered on significant geological breaks like Crow Canyon and Gunsight Canyon. Modern land use is indicated by ranching access routes including Bogie's Ranch Rd and Carpenter Ranch Rd, which parallel the river valley. This 2021 survey provides a contemporary view of the region's topography, illustrating how the natural watercourses and canyons continue to dictate the placement of local roads like Back Rd and the division of public lands within the township and range system.
