About this map

Big Valley dominates the high desert landscape of Mohave County along the Arizona-Utah border, where drainage systems like Lizard Wash and Mokaac Wash carve through the arid terrain. The presence of Gardner Well, Lizard Spring, and Mokaac Spring highlights the vital role of water management in this remote region during the late 1970s.

Cattle ranching and early exploration are evident through features such as the Corral and a solitary Prospect located near Atkinville Wash. Navigation across the undulating topography relied on a network of Jeep Trails and unnamed trails, connecting points of interest like Little Black Mtn and Lizard Point. Small-scale infrastructure like the State Line Reservoir and Mokaac Reservoir underscores the necessity of water storage for the scattered outposts like Pierce and North Tank.
