2014 Map of Jacobs Well

About this map

Virgin Mountains and the Mojave Desert converge in this high-elevation corner of Mohave County, where the topography is defined by significant vertical relief and dry drainage systems. Water sources are the critical landmarks in this arid environment, represented by the namesake Jacobs Well and Cottonwood Spring. The landscape is carved by seasonal watercourses like Tom and Cull Wash, which descends from the peaks, and Cottonwood Wash near the southern boundary. Significant elevations include Black Rock Mtn in the east, providing a clear picture of the land's rugged character. Human presence is sparse, limited primarily to the track of CR 101, leaving the focus on the natural geographic features and the Public Land Survey System township and range lines that grid this section of the Arizona strip.
