2021 Map of Moccasin

About this map

The high desert landscape of Moccasin is defined by its vital water sources and dramatic elevation changes along the Vermilion Cliffs. This corner of Mohave County reveals a reliance on isolated water points like Moccasin Spring and Bull Pasture Spring, which historically supported ranching and small-scale settlement in an otherwise arid environment. The map shows a clear transition from the low-lying Pipe Valley in the south up through the steep terrain of Moccasin Canyon toward the northern ridges of the Moccasin Mountains. Local geography is marked by distinctive landmarks such as Parashont Point and Lone Butte, while the drainage of Sandy Canyon Wash cuts through the high plateau. The road network, including Pipe Springs Rd and Maccasin Peak Rd, traces the accessible routes between these springs and canyons, illustrating the enduring relationship between the topography and the limited paths available for travel.
