2014 Map of Mustang Knoll

About this map

Mustang Knoll stands as the central landmark in this high-desert landscape of Mohave County, where the scarcity of water has long dictated the patterns of human and animal movement. The terrain is etched with deep drainage features like Road Canyon and Hobble Canyon, while the life of the region is centered around isolated water sources. From the naturally occurring Alkaline Seep and Mustang Spring to man-made catchments like the Stock Driveway Reservoir, these points reveal the infrastructure of western ranching. In the northwest, the map documents a cluster of resources within Ide Valley, including Ide Valley Spring and Hidden Valley Spring. The network of simple tracks and remote water tanks, such as Imlay Resort Tank, illustrates the persistent utility of this arid country for grazing and transit in the modern era.
