1990 Map of Mohave Springs

About this map

Mohave Springs and the small settlement of Rowland anchor this arid landscape of western Arizona, where life follows the drainage patterns of several major washes. The terrain is defined by the high ground of Mohave Springs Mesa and the nearby Black Mountain, which overlook a network of seasonal watercourses including Dutch Flat Wash and Paloma Wash. The map reveals a history of resource extraction, with scattered Adits and a Prospect indicating mining activity in the southern reaches of the Bill Williams Mountains. Remote 4WD tracks, such as the 4WD Mohave, provide the primary access through the Castaneda Hills, connecting isolated landmarks like a Corral to the wider region. This 1990 provisional edition reflects data from aerial surveys and field checks spanning several decades, documenting the persistent but sparse human presence in this corner of Mohave County.
