2018 Map of Mount Perkins

About this map

Mt Perkins stands as the prominent peak within this portion of the Black Mountains, a landscape defined by the arid extremes of the Mojave Desert. This 2018 survey illustrates a sparsely developed region where life is dictated by rare water sources like Cottonwood Spring and Coyote Spring. Much of the western terrain falls within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, showing the vast public land management typical of modern Mohave County. The presence of Cottonwood Rd provides the primary transit corridor through these desert highlands. Topographic details reveal the complex drainage patterns and ridgelines that characterize this corner of Arizona, offering a clear view of the natural barriers that have historically limited settlement in this high-desert environment.
