2021 Map of Needles NW

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Needles serves as the focal point for this desert landscape, situated at the edge of the Mohave Valley along the Colorado River. The terrain is dominated by the Dead Mountains to the northwest and the sprawling drainage of Piute Wash, illustrating the harsh environment that historically constrained travel and settlement. This 2021 study documents the transportation routes that have defined the region for decades, including the historic path of the National Old Trails Hwy and the modern influence of the Railroad Access Rd near the siding of Java. The map reveals the intricate network of desert roads such as River Rd and Budweiser Rd that navigate the alluvial fans of the Mojave Desert, providing a clear record of land use and water access at points like Red Spring.
