About this map

Moccasin and Indian Moccasin anchor the southwestern corner of this Arizona landscape, situated along the base of the Moccasin Mountains. The terrain is defined by dramatic escarpments including the Vermilion Cliffs and Shinarump Cliffs, which overlook a network of ephemeral watercourses like Sandy Canyon Wash and Sand Wash. This geography reflects a settlement pattern tied closely to the few reliable water sources found at the desert's edge, such as Red Cliff Spring and Pine Spring.

The map preserves the locations of early habitation sites, specifically noted at Old Kaibab Village near the modern community of Kaibab. Distinctive landforms such as Blue Knolls, Cedar Ridge, and the Moquith Mountains provide clear landmarks across the high desert, while naming conventions like Ed Lamb Point and Aulson Canyon reflect the ranching and local history of Mohave County. Transport through the area is facilitated by Az-389 and local routes like Pipe Springs Rd and Center St.
