2021 Map of Maroney Well

About this map

Maroney Well serves as the namesake reference point for this portion of the Arizona Strip in Mohave County. The landscape is defined by its arid drainage systems and distinct elevation changes, specifically where the broad Upper Clayhole Valley meets the rising terrain of Yellowstone Mesa in the south. Vital water management features like Fern Tank and the seasonal paths of Sandridge Wash and Big Sand Wash dictate the movement across this open country. The intersection of CO Hwy 239 and CO Hwy 241 provides the primary transit network through these remote northern Arizona townships. Geographers and local historians can observe the transition from the low-lying Pipe Valley in the east to the prominent heights of Cedar Ridge at the northern edge of the survey, illustrating the complex topography that characterizes this high-desert region.
