About this map

The arid landscape of Main Street Valley defines this portion of Mohave County, where the scarcity of water is evidenced by the density of catchment systems and family-named reservoirs. In 2014, the region's topography is dominated by the prominent Diamond Butte to the east and the winding drainage of Sevy Draw. A complex network of water features, including Sinkhole Reservoir and Alva Shelly Reservoir, reflects the vital importance of irrigation and livestock management in this high-desert environment.

Remote county roads such as CR-5 and CR-103 provide the primary access through these range lands. The map preserves several local landmarks like Nina Pond, the Cox-Atkin Tank, and Little Tanks, which illustrate the long history of land use and water rights in this corner of Arizona. These smaller features, alongside Bishop and Burr Reservoir, offer specific points of interest for those tracing the history of local ranching operations and named landmarks in the region.
