About this map

Kanab Point overlooks a complex network of drainage systems in this remote section of Mohave County. The landscape is defined by the significant descent toward the Colorado River at the southern edge of the sheet, where the water meets the Kanab Rapids at the mouth of Kanab Canyon. These geological features illustrate the deep erosion patterns characteristic of the region, where seasonal watercourses like Robinson Wash and the N Fork Robinson Wash carve through the high plateau.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, with Showerbath Spring, North Spring, and Jewel Spring providing rare points of relief across the terrain. To the north, the deep incision of Jumpup Canyon and the winding path of Kanab Cr further detail the dramatic vertical relief between high points like Shanub Point and the canyon floors. This survey documents the intersection of these critical water sources and prominent landmarks before they reach the main river corridor.
