2018 Map of Negro Ed

About this map

Mojave Desert terrain defines this portion of the border between Yavapai and Mohave counties, characterized by a complex network of seasonal water sources and named canyons. The landforms around Negro Ed and Deer Mtn reveal a landscape where survival relied on precise knowledge of water, evidenced by the distribution of natural outlets like Stone Corral Springs, Black Willow Spring, and Lion Spring. These features, alongside man-made improvements like Butte Tank and Hosey Tank, indicate a history of ranching or livestock management in an arid environment. Notable topographic landmarks such as the Granite Ridges and the broad Wilder Mesa rise above the drainage systems of Burro Cr and Salt Cr, while the playfully named Trot and Holler Canyon adds a layer of local character to the desert geography.
