About this map

Sacramento Valley and the Mojave Desert converge in this western Arizona landscape, characterized by a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems. The terrain is defined by the passage of Thirteenmile Wash, Secret Pass Wash, and Griffith Wash, which channel seasonal runoff through the arid basin. To the northeast, the elevation rises toward Shingle Canyon, while the southern reaches are marked by Meadow Cr and Black Rock Wash.

A rigid grid of residential planning and local roads, including Oatman Rd and Quartizite Rd, has been laid over the traditional township and range sections. The map reveals the expansion of local infrastructure into the desert, with named routes like Wingate Dr and Ash Dr carving into the alluvial plains. This survey provides a precise record of how contemporary settlement patterns and transportation corridors have adapted to the geological contours of the region.
