2018 Map of Moon Mountain

About this map

Moon Mtn and the northern reaches of the Dome Rock Mountains dominate this arid landscape in La Paz County. The terrain is defined by a sharp contrast between the jagged uplands and the engineered irrigation systems of the valley to the west. Water management is central to the area's geography, visible through the Mesa-Drain, Mesa Drain, and the Lateral A Seventy-three canal system. These man-made features intersect with natural drainages like Tyson Wash as they descend toward the Barker Valley. The grid of the Colorado River Indian Reservation is apparent in the naming of local thoroughfares such as Tsosie Rd, John's Rd, and Beeson Rd, which serve the agricultural plots and residential pockets adjacent to State Hwy 25.
