2014 Map of McCracken Peak

About this map

McCracken Peak rises as a central landmark in this high-desert landscape within the Mojave Desert. The map documents a rugged section of western Arizona, where the McCracken Mountains dominate the northeastern terrain. Mining history and desert navigation are etched into the land through routes like McCracken Mine Rd and Signal Rd, which thread through the drainage systems of Centennial Wash. To the west, the topography softens into the wide expanse of Dutch Flat. Essential water sources for early travelers and locals are noted at Bateman Spring below the mountain slopes. The survey provides a clear view of the complex elevation changes between the peaks and the surrounding alluvial plains, illustrating the desolate yet vital transport corridors used to access the region's mineral resources.
