2011 Map of Housholder Pass

About this map

Housholder Pass serves as the primary topographical landmark in this high desert region of Mohave County, where the landscape is defined by vast alluvial drainages and a critical transportation corridor. The map focuses on the transit route through the mountains, anchored by the path of Highway 93, which cuts diagonally across the terrain. Hydrological patterns are dominated by the winding course of Detrital Wash along the eastern edge, a feature that dictates the natural drainage of the arid basin. To the north, the junction with Temple Bar Rd provides a vital link toward the Colorado River recreation areas, illustrating how infrastructure in this era was tightly constrained by the surrounding desert passes.
