2014 Map of Heaton Knolls

About this map

Heaton Knolls and the adjacent Findlay Knolls dominate this high-desert landscape in Mohave County, where water management is the primary marker of human activity. The map reveals a sophisticated network of catchments and reservoirs designed to capture runoff across the arid terrain of Antelope Valley and the slopes of Little Hurricane Ridge. Named water features such as Heaton Reservoir, Swapp Reservoir, and Bobcat Reservoir suggest a history of ranching or livestock management in this remote section of northern Arizona.
