2018 Map of Mustang Knoll

About this map

Mustang Knoll stands as a prominent landmark in this high-desert portion of Mohave County, where the landscape is defined by its vital water sources and remote cattle ranching infrastructure. The availability of water dictated movement through this arid terrain, as evidenced by the distribution of Mustang Spring, Ide Valley Spring, and the Hidden Valley Spring in the northern reaches of the quadrangle. A system of stock management is visible through the placement of the Stock Driveway Reservoir and the Imlay Resort Tank, supporting the movement of livestock across the open range. Transportation in this era relied on established routes like Co HWY 101, which traverses the central and southern sections, navigating around significant geographical features such as Road Canyon and Hobble Canyon. This survey captures the essential intersection of hydrology and land use in a region where an Alkaline Seep can be as significant a landmark as a mountain peak.
