2011 Map of Mohave Springs

About this map

Mohave Springs Mesa dominates this arid landscape in Mohave County, where the survival of cattle or travelers once depended on specific water sources throughout the desert. The 2011 survey reveals a complex drainage network including the West Mohave Wash and Middle Mohave Wash, converging into the primary Mohave Wash. This topographic record is particularly valuable for identifying ephemeral water features such as Mohave Springs and Arrowweed Spring, alongside man-made infrastructure like Upper Mohave Tank and Mohave Tank. Only a single named thoroughfare, Dutch Flat Rd, enters the area from the northwest near Standard Wash. The topography rises toward the northeast with Black Mountain, providing a clear view of the hydraulic patterns that define life and movement in this part of the Arizona desert.
