2014 Map of Quartermaster Canyon SW

About this map

The Grand Wash Cliffs dominate this portion of the Mojave Desert in Mohave County, revealing a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and essential water management. This 2014 survey documents a network of remote water sources and livestock infrastructure critical for ranching in the arid Southwest. Named features like Topside Reservoir, North Tank, and Honeymoon Tank indicate the vital role of catchment systems, while Tenny Ranch Rd provides the primary corridor through the terrain. Numerous springs, including Cedar Spring, Hillside Springs, and Hells Canyon Spring, are documented along the base of the cliffs and within deep incisions like Barks Canyon. The map provides a detailed record of the public land survey system across townships T27N through T29N, illustrating the intersection of natural drainage systems like Iron Spring Wash with human-managed rangelands.
