2018 Map of Peach Springs Canyon

About this map

Peach Springs Canyon dominates this landscape in Mohave County, where the topography transitions from the dramatic depths of the Lower Granite Gorge toward the higher plateaus of northwestern Arizona. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainage systems, including the uniquely named Two Hundred and Twentyeightmile Canyon and the seasonal path of Peach Springs Wash. These canyons serve as the primary geographical features within this section of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. For those studying the hydrology of the region, the location of remote water sources like Mesquite Spring and Metuck Springs provides insight into the scarce water resources available across the arid Plain Tank Flat and through the steep descent of Hells Canyon.
