2021 Map of Music Mountains SW

About this map

Grand Wash Cliffs dominate the northern landscape of this Mojave County region, where the terrain drops sharply toward the Hualapai Valley. This 2021 survey illustrates a sparse desert environment defined by essential water catchment points like Marshall Tank and Crack Tank, which are critical landmarks in a territory where permanent water is rare. The drainage of Truxton Wash cuts horizontally across the southern half of the map, serving as a primary geographical feature for this high-desert basin. While much of the land remains undeveloped, the emergence of a rectilinear road grid—including Kaibito Blvd, Pima Rd, and Saguaro Blvd—signals a modern layer of planned settlement atop the older desert washes. This map provides a clear view of how transit corridors like Co Hwy 149 navigate the steep elevation changes of the cliffs to connect the plateau with the valley floor.
