About this map

Mustang Knoll rises above a high desert landscape in northwestern Arizona, defined by its critical water sources and livestock infrastructure. In this late 1970s survey, the reliance on dispersed water points is evident through features like Mustang Spring, Ide Valley Spring, and the Stock Driveway Reservoir. These sites indicate the area's importance for open-range grazing and the movement of cattle across the Mohave County terrain.

Deep drainage patterns are carved into the land, notably at Road Canyon and Hobble Canyon, providing a look at the natural geography before modern development. The presence of the Imlay Resort Tank and a single Drill Hole suggests a mix of recreational and exploratory activity during this era. A network of primitive transit routes, including a marked Jeep Trail, connects these remote landmarks through the wide expanse of Ide Valley.
