2011 Map of Milkweed Canyon SE

About this map

The Music Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Mohave County, where the terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage washes and vital water catchments. Modern infrastructure is represented by Buck and Doe Rd, which cuts across the northern half of the quadrangle. For the local historian or ranching researcher, the map documents a series of named water sources critical to the arid environment, including Horse Trough Spring and several strategically placed reservoirs such as Nelson Tank and Trail Tank. The distribution of these features, along with others like Box Canyon Tank Number Two and New Mud Tank, illustrates the ongoing importance of water management for livestock and wildlife in this part of Arizona.
