About this map

Peacock Mountains rise sharply above the floor of the Hualapai Valley, defining the high-desert character of this Mohave County landscape. The topography is marked by vital water sources in an arid environment, including Hualapai Spring, Burn Spring, and the evocatively named Lion Kill Spring. These points of permanent water served as the anchors for early ranching and travel through the region.

Modern transportation is dominated by the corridor cutting through the center of the sheet, while a network of named desert tracks like Thunder Mountain Rd and E Blake Ranch Rd provides access to the outlying sections. Drainage is defined by seasonal watercourses such as Peacock Wash and McGarrys Wash, which channel runoff from the slopes toward the valley floor. The map also records localized features like Butte Tank, essential infrastructure for managing water in the grazing lands.
