1988 Map of Pipe Valley

About this map

The Kaibab Paiute Indian Reservation dominates the northern landscape of this Mojave County region, where the high desert terrain transitions into the distinct relief of Yellowstone Mesa and Moonshine Ridge. This 1988 provisional survey documents a largely unpopulated area defined by its water management and geological landmarks. Strategic water sources like Moonshine Spring, Rouch Well, and Maroney Well illustrate the essential infrastructure for ranching and life in this arid environment. The drainage patterns are clearly marked by the Pipe Valley Wash and Bulrush Canyon Wash, while unique topographic features such as the Elephants Foot and Indian Knoll provide unmistakable navigational waypoints across the open range. The presence of several Corrals suggests continued pastoral use of the valley floor during the late twentieth century.
