2011 Map of Mount Bangs

About this map

Mount Bangs and Black Rock Mountain dominate this corner of Mohave County, where the high desert landscape is defined by its vital water sources. The 2011 survey reveals an environment where survival once depended on finding reliable water at points like Lost Spring, Sullivans Spring, and Quaking Asp Spring. These natural features, along with the drainage of Tom and Gull Wash, suggest a terrain shaped by seasonal water flow and high-elevation landmarks. While human settlement is sparse, the map documents the essential natural landmarks used by ranchers and early travelers to navigate this portion of the Arizona Strip.
