About this map

Upper Grand Wash Cliffs define this high-altitude Arizona landscape, where water sources are critical markers across the arid terrain. The 1970s survey captures a network of isolated water points, including Hidden Lake, Coyote Spring, and Lundgren Pond, which likely served as essential stops for local ranching operations or travelers. The topography is dominated by dramatic elevation changes between the Hidden Rim and Mustang Point, connected only by a sparse system of paths marked as Jeep Trail.

Resource management in this remote corner of Mohave County is evidenced by the placement of Upper Pigeon Spring and Lower Pigeon Spring along the floor of Pigeon Canyon. The presence of Overnight Pond suggests the temporal nature of water availability in the Hidden Hills, reflecting a landscape defined by seasonal flows and the necessity of improved catchments for survival in the high desert breaks.
