2018 Map of Hot Rock Mountain

About this map

The Belmont Mountains dominate the northern horizon of this landscape, where the high desert meets the modern engineering of the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct. This section of the Tonopah Desert reveals a transition from the rugged natural features of the backcountry, such as the Belmont Arch and Natural Arch, to the organized grid of a developing rural community. In the southern half of the map, a dense network of local roads including W Bethany Home Rd and W Glendale Ave surrounds the Tonopah Airport, reflecting the area's mid-to-late 20th-century growth. Seasonal drainage patterns are clearly defined by Old Camp Wash and Winters Wash, which slice through the terrain toward the lowlands. The presence of the historic Vulture Mine Rd provides a link to the region's mining heritage, connecting the modern residential outskirts to the mineral-rich uplands of Hot Rock Mtn.
