2011 Map of Hat Knoll

About this map

Hat Knoll rises above a landscape defined by seasonal water catchments and drainage systems in this northern Mohave County desert region. The terrain is marked by significant topographical landmarks such as The Black Rocks and the sprawling Seven Knolls Bench, which overlooks several artificial catchments including Seven Knolls Bench Reservoir. These reservoirs and "tanks," such as Cabin Valley Tank and Larimore Tank, reveal the critical infrastructure required for ranching or land management in an arid environment. Transportation through the area is anchored by Co HWY 5, which navigates the corridor near Black Canyon. Small, named geographical pockets like Cutler Pockets and Spencer Knoll provide specific reference points for navigators and historians studying the spatial distribution of resources across the Arizona strip.
