About this map

Cove Spring serves as a vital water source in this arid corner of Mohave County, where the desert floor meets rising Mountains. Mapped by the Geological Survey in the mid-1950s using aerial photography, the landscape is defined by the deep incisions of Cottonwood Canyon and the winding course of Cottonwood Wash. The map documents a sparsely settled territory where the township boundary between T. 37 N. and T. 36 N. bisects the terrain. The presence of named water features like Tom Wash amidst the complex contouring indicates the importance of these drainages for navigation and survival in a region where the geology dictates the paths of travel. This preliminary edition captures the area before more standardized 15-minute maps were finalized, preserving the specific topographical details of the era.
