2012 Map of McMahon Ridge

About this map

McMahon Ridge and the surrounding Goldfield Hills define this high-desert landscape in the early 21st century. The terrain is marked by the prominence of Kendall Mountain and the dark profile of Black Butte to the south. This area serves as a significant drainage basin, with the extensive network of Big Wash winding through the center of the sheet, illustrating how seasonal water flow has historically shaped the local topography. Human infrastructure is limited to utility and access routes, such as Power Line Rd in the southwest corner. The map documents a sparsely settled region where the physical geography remains the dominant feature, providing a clear record of the land before further modern development or changes in land use patterns occurred.
