2011 Map of Hole-n-Wall Canyon

About this map

Swiss Canyon and the surrounding high desert of Mohave County define this 2011 survey, where the landscape is marked more by water management than by permanent settlement. The namesake Hole-n-Wall Canyon is a central geological feature, leading toward the Hole-n-Wall Reservoir and the broad expanse of Main Street Valley. In this arid environment, the survival of ranching or local travel is evidenced by numerous named catchment points such as Dutchman Tank, Pocum Tank, and Gravel Draw Pond. The presence of Seegmiller Spring and Clay Spring suggests the historic importance of reliable water sources in an otherwise dry terrain. Transportation across these flats is facilitated by routes like Sunshine Trail Rd, which provides access to remote areas like Dutchman Flat and the vicinity of Sunshine Pond.
