2014 Map of Mohave Springs

About this map

The arid expanse of the Mohave Desert defines this section of Arizona, where water sources like Mohave Springs and Arrowweed Spring were once essential for travel and survival. The landscape is marked by a complex system of dry drainages, including the broad Standard Wash and Middle Mohave Wash, which carve through the terrain between the Black Mtn to the north and the Castaneda Hills to the southeast. Settlers and ranchers relied on artificial catchment points such as Upper Mohave Tank and Mohave Tank to sustain life and livestock in this environment. To the south, the foothills of the Bill Williams Mountains rise above the alluvial fans. While contemporary infrastructure is minimal, the presence of Dutch Flat Rd provides one of the few managed access points through the Mohave Springs Mesa.
