2021 Map of Hualapai Peak

About this map

Hualapai Peak and the surrounding high-elevation terrain of Mohave County define this landscape, where steep slopes give way to a network of named washes and springs. The map highlights the essential water sources that have sustained movement through this arid region, including Cottonwood Spring, Black Inky Spring, and the high-altitude Wildcow Spring. These vital points, often found at the heads of canyons like Shingle Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon, indicate a long history of seasonal use and resource management. Grounded in the late-twentieth and early-twenty-first-century survey data, the map traces the intersection of natural topography with human enterprise, most notably at the Walnut Creek Mine Spring. The presence of several named washes, such as Antelope Wash and Timber Wash, illustrates the drainage patterns through the basalt and granite formations characteristic of the area.
