2018 Map of Music Mountains NE

About this map

The Music Mountains and the dramatic drop-off of the Grand Wash Cliffs dominate this high-desert landscape in Mohave County. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by its water management and sparse road network, characteristic of the Arizona plateau. Essential water sources, often tied to cattle ranching or wildlife, are scattered across the quadrangle, including Black Canyon Tank, Jamison Tank, and Silt Tank. In the northeastern sector, the land gives way to the deep cut of Meriwhitica Canyon. A few primitive routes, such as Clay Springs Rd and Buck and Doe Rd, provide the only significant access through these remote townships. The presence of Clay Springs provides a rare natural water point in a landscape otherwise reliant on catchment tanks.
