2011 Map of Price Point

About this map

Blue Mountain and the high vantage of Price Point dominate this high-desert landscape in northern Arizona as it was documented in 2011. The map reveals an arid terrain where survival and land use are dictated by the management of water, evidenced by a network of catchments including Shanley Tank, Rodger Tank, and Kelly Tanks. These features, along with natural depressions like Dinner Pocket and Price Pocket, point to the ranching or grazing history of this part of Mohave County. The topography is further defined by the winding course of Price Canyon, which cuts through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. This survey provides a precise view of the rural infrastructure and named landmarks in a region where topography and water sources are the primary identifiers of place.
