2018 Map of Planet

About this map

The Planet settlement lies at the northern edge of this arid landscape, where the Bill Williams River defines the boundary between Mohave and La Paz counties. This desert terrain is dominated by the massive Buckskin Mountains, a region historically tied to copper mining and industrial processing. Notable landmarks like the Retort Oven and the network of roads including Swansea Mine Rd and Swansea Rd point to the area's legacy of extraction and transport. Prominent summits such as Planet Peak, Tunnel Peak, and Squaw Peak rise sharply from the basin floor, providing a clear view of the rugged geography that challenged early developers. The route of the Planet Ranch Rd serves as a primary corridor through this high-relief environment, connecting remote outposts to the river valley.
