2021 Map of Nelson

About this map

Nelson sits at the confluence of several significant geographical boundaries where Mohave, Coconino, and Yavapai counties meet. This 2021 topographic record of the Arizona high desert illustrates a landscape defined by drainage patterns and aviation infrastructure. Water management is central to the area's utility, marked by features such as Bull Pasture Tank and Limestone Tank, which serve this arid environment. The terrain is deeply incised by Nelson Canyon and Faught Canyon, both of which feed into the broader Truxton Wash system. Transportation in this corner of the state relies on a network of unpaved corridors like Nelson Rd and Indian Rte 19, while the presence of both the Hualapai Airport and the Grand Canyon Caverns Airport highlights the region's role as a waypoint for travelers and local transit.
