2011 Map of Heaton Knolls

About this map

Red Blanket Ranch and a network of isolated water catchments define this high-desert landscape in Mohave County. In an environment where water management is central to land use, the map documents numerous named resources such as Heaton Reservoir, Earl Reservoir, and the Heaton Knolls Catchment. The terrain is characterized by prominent geologic features including Little Hurricane Ridge and the Heaton Knolls, which provide vertical contrast to the surrounding basins. A boundary of Grand Canyon National Park cuts through the southern portion of the sheet, marking the transition from ranching and range land into protected federal wilderness. Long-distance transit is represented by Mount Trumbull Rd, a primary corridor through this sparsely populated territory.
