About this map

Oatman and the nearby site of Goldroad anchor this 2011 topographic survey of the Black Mountains in Mohave County. The map details a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and ephemeral watercourses like Silver Creek and Mossback Wash. This area of Arizona has a deep connection to early mining and transportation, as seen in the presence of the Oatman Post Office and the distinct Gold Road Cemetery and Oatman Cemetery.

The rugged terrain is punctuated by prominent landmarks such as Battleship Mountain, Cathedral Rock, and Negrohead. Modern and historical infrastructure intersect here, with the Oatman Topock Hwy and Silver Creek Rd navigating the canyons, while Old Trails suggests earlier routes through the desert. Significant geological features, including Grapevine Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon, dominate the central and eastern portions of the quadrangle.
