2021 Map of Middle Water Spring

About this map

The eastern foothills of the Black Mountains meet the expansive Detrital Valley in this detailed survey of the northwest Arizona desert. Grounded by the vital presence of Middle Water Spring and Kemple Spring, the landscape reveals a transition from the rugged highlands into the Mojave Desert floor. While the western half of the map is defined by steep elevation changes and natural drainages like Detrital Wash, the eastern sections show the early stages of desert subdivision development. A grid of planned streets, including Florence Dr, N Agate Rd, and Joseph Rd, appears laid out across the arid flats near Mineral Rd. This intersection of natural desert hydrology and modern desert habitation provides a clear picture of how land use in Mohave County continues to press into the open valley.
