2014 Map of Mount Bangs

About this map

Mount Bangs stands as a prominent high point in this 2014 survey of the Virgin Mountains, where the high-altitude terrain of northwestern Arizona meets the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert. The map reveals a complex system of drainage and seasonal water sources essential to this arid environment, including Gates and Mullen Spring, Sullivans Spring, and Quaking Asp Spring. These water points, along with named features like Last Spring, indicate the vital locations for life in a landscape dominated by deep incisions such as Hedricks Canyon, Figure Four Canyon, and Frehner Canyon. The network of washes, notably Cottonwood Wash and Tom-and-Cull-Wash, illustrates the hydrological patterns that have shaped the land, carving out areas like Pocum Cove and Sullivans Canyon near the massive Black Rock Mtn.
