2018 Map of Palmerita Ranch

About this map

Palmerita Ranch serves as a lone hub of human activity along the boundary where Mohave and La Paz counties meet in the Mojave Desert. This arid landscape is defined by the east-west course of the Santa Maria River, which creates a riparian corridor through an otherwise water-scarce region. To the south, Date Creek and Valencia Wash drain the surrounding terrain, providing crucial landmarks for those navigating the backcountry. The map reveals the intricate network of desert drainage patterns, including the notable Grapevine Springs tucked into the eastern reaches. Local access is primarily maintained through unpaved corridors such as Palmerita Rd and Date Creek Rd, which provide the essential connection between the ranch and the surrounding topographical features of the river basin.
