2021 Map of Planet

About this map

The settlement of Planet anchors this desert landscape in La Paz County, situated near the winding course of the Bill Williams River along the border with Mohave County. This 2021 survey details a rugged mining and ranching corridor defined by the Buckskin Mountains, where topography reaches prominent heights at Planet Peak and Squaw Peak. The naming of local infrastructure, such as Swansea Rd, Swansea-Mine Rd, and the Swansea Cutoff Rd, points to the region's industrial heritage and its connection to nearby mineral operations. Notable landmarks like the Retort Oven and Tunnel Peak offer specific points of interest for those studying the physical remnants of the area's extraction history. Remote access is traced through a network of unpaved routes including Planet Ranch Rd and Mineral Wash Rd, which navigate the complex elevation changes of the western Arizona desert.
