2021 Map of Gyp Pocket

About this map

The Hurricane Cliffs dominate this arid landscape in northern Mohave County, marking a dramatic geological transition between the plateau and the Lower Hurricane Valley. The area is characterized by its vital water management features, essential for sustaining life and livestock in this environment, including Gyp Pocket Tank, Ballard Tank, and Parker Tank. These isolated catchments and ponds like Nutter Pond are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the region's ranching heritage. Transport is defined by the Navajo Trail Rd, which snakes through the eastern section of the quadrangle. Distinctive landforms such as Gyp Pocket and the prominent rising feature known as The Grandstand provide unmistakable landmarks for those navigating the rugged drainage of Hurricane Wash.
