2011 Map of Powell Mountain NE

About this map

Cottonwood Canyon and the surrounding high desert terrain of Mineral County define this early 21st-century landscape. The area is marked by a network of drainage systems and primitive access routes, reflecting a region primarily managed for resource extraction and land management. Cottonwood Creek and Willow Creek carve through the arid topography, leading toward deep incisions like Willow Canyon and Bromide Canyon. The map reveals a specific infrastructure of forest service and local roads, including 750 and 751a, which navigate the complex elevations of the Powell Mountain NE quadrangle. This survey provides a precise view of the geographic relationships between named landforms such as Pamlico Canyon and the seasonal watercourses that shape the local environment.
