About this map

Burro Creek carves a deep path through this Mohave County landscape, separating the Aquarius Mountains and Aquarius Cliffs in the north from the Poachie Range to the south. The 1970s field data shows a region defined by its water sources and mining history, with the Burro Mine and Granite State Mine positioned among the high desert terrain. Local ranching and travel are marked by the presence of Shipp Ranch and a network of jeep trails connecting isolated points like Andys Hole and Hells Half Acre.

Evidence of geological diversity is prominent, particularly the lava flows in the southeast and the numerous named springs, including Kaiser Spring and Wildhorse Spring, which supported livestock and small-scale operations. Modern infrastructure appears as a pipeline and the Burro Creek Campground, while older landmarks like the Red Knob Wells and Bonanza Wash offer a glimpse into the hydraulic challenges of this arid environment.
