About this map

Mohon Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Yavapai County, centered on the prominent summit of Mohon Peak. This 2011 survey illustrates a region defined by its complex drainage systems and isolated peaks, where water sources like Mohon Spring, Stevens Spring, and Walnut Spring provided critical infrastructure for ranching and early travel. The presence of Mohon Camp near the main peak suggests a history of seasonal habitation or resource management in an otherwise high-elevation wilderness.

To the south and west, the terrain transitions into significant basins and canyons, including Brushy Basin and the deep cuts of Orejana Canyon and C S Canyon. These natural features, along with landmarks like Black Butte and Walker Peak, formed a network of navigation points for those traversing the territory between the higher volcanic mountains and the lower desert washes of Adobe Creek and Bear Creek.
