About this map

Little Clayhole Valley and the adjacent Antelope Valley define this remote expanse of the Arizona Strip, where life and landscape are shaped by the movement of water through the drainage of Clayhole Wash. The map reveals a sparse, high-desert terrain dominated by grazing infrastructure and seasonal water management, illustrated by a network of catchments such as Little Clayhole Reservoir, Big Dike Reservoir, and Cement Dam Reservoir.

A primary artery through this northern section of Mohave County is Co HWY 5, providing access to isolated landmarks like The Black Rocks and various stock tanks including Cattle Guard Pond and Earl Pond. These features, alongside Upper Clayhole Valley, underscore the enduring ranching character of the region in the early twenty-first century, preserving a record of water rights and land use in a geography where every named pond and reservoir signifies a vital resource.
