About this map

Peach Springs Canyon dominates this 2014 survey of northwestern Arizona, where the deep drainages of the Colorado River system carve into the Hualapai Plateau. This landscape is defined by its sheer vertical relief, featuring the transition into the Lower Granite Gorge and the intricate network of canyons including Two Hundred and Twentyeightmile Canyon and the evocatively named Hells Canyon.

Evidence of human navigation and survival in this arid environment is documented through labels like Bia-6, the primary Bureau of Indian Affairs route winding through the canyon floor, and rare water sources such as Mesquite Spring. Much of the northern portion of the map is protected within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, while features like Plain Tank Flat suggest the more level, high-altitude terrain above the river’s reach. The map captures a moment of modern topographic mapping in Mohave County, detailing the complex hydrography of Lost Man Cr and Meriwitica Wash.
