About this map

Griffith and Drake serve as primary reference points along the western edge of this desert landscape, where the flat expanse of the Sacramento Valley meets the rising terrain of the north-central Mojave Desert. The map records a complex network of seasonal drainages, including Griffith Wash and the extensive Black Rock Wash, which channel water toward the valley floor during rare desert rain events.

Evidence of historical ranching and water management is seen in labels like Number Five Trough, Griffith Tank, and the reliable Boulder Spring. To the northeast, the terrain shifts significantly as it ascends into Cottonwood Canyon, where Yellow Flower Cr and Lookout Spring mark the transition into more elevated, broken ground. This 2014 survey documents the enduring spatial relationship between these isolated water sources and the sparse settlements of southeastern Mohave County.
