2011 Map of Mount Pennell

About this map

Mount Pennell rises as the central landmark within the Henry Mountains, anchoring a landscape defined by sharp drainage networks and high ridges. This 2011 survey illustrates a complex system of seasonal and perennial waterways, including Straight Creek, Mud Creek, and the headwaters of Bullfrog Creek. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation changes at The Horn and the broken ground of the Pennell Creek Roughs. Geologic features such as No Man Mesa and Bulldog Ridge dominate the central topography, while Gibbons Springs and several forks of Slate and Coyote creeks provide essential water sources in an otherwise arid environment. The map captures the area's remote character, where access is dictated by the natural corridors of Corral Canyon and Scratch Canyon.
