2018 Map of Monkeys Head

About this map

The Bill Williams River meanders through this arid landscape, defining the border between Mohave and La Paz counties. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain dominated by the Buckskin Mountains and the Bill Williams Mountains, where drainage systems like Paloma Wash and Fox Wash carve through the Mojave Desert. The presence of the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct highlights modern water management infrastructure cutting across the rugged topography. Hikers and researchers can trace the Shoreline Trail and the local Hiking Trail near the riverbanks. Distinctive landmarks such as the Monkeys Head rock formation, Castle Rock, and the Aubrey Hills serve as important navigational points for those exploring this sparsely settled region of the American Southwest.
