2021 Map of Housholder Pass

About this map

Housholder Pass serves as a critical geographic marker in this arid portion of Mohave County, where the road network transitions through the high ground between the Detrital Valley and the Mojave Desert. Much of the western half of this territory is managed as part of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, a designation that preserves the stark landscape of the southern Black Mountains. The topographic detail reveals the complex drainage patterns of Detrital Wash, which collects runoff from the surrounding peaks. Transportation is defined by the corridors of Co Hwy 143 and the Willow Beach Access Rd, illustrating how infrastructure adheres to the natural contours of the basin and range province in northwestern Arizona.
