2014 Map of Last Chance Canyon

About this map

Last Chance Canyon and the Upper Grand Wash Cliffs define this high-desert landscape in Mohave County. The topography is marked by a network of drainage systems and isolated water sources, including Yellowstone Spring and Lower Hidden Spring. These natural catchments and springs were critical for early ranching and transit through the arid corridor. Named landmarks such as Hudson Point, Last Chance Knoll, and the Hidden Hills provide clear navigational markers across the varied elevations. The map also identifies specific geographic features like Squaw Pockets and Red Rock Knoll, which reflect the localized nomenclature of this corner of Arizona. The presence of North Tank and Lower North Tank suggests a reliance on managed water infrastructure alongside the natural springs like Gordon Spring and Coin Spring.
