2018 Map of Rawhide Wash

About this map

Rawhide Mountains define the southern landscape of this Mohave County quadrangle, where the arid terrain is carved by a network of seasonal drainages and high peaks. The topography is dominated by dramatic elevation changes, from the heights of Potts Mtn and Fools Peak to the broad expanse of the Ester Basin. This desert environment is shaped by significant watercourses including the Rawhide Wash, Mississippi Wash, and Maggie Wash, which weave through the complex geology of the Mojave Desert. The presence of Co Hwy 15 provides the primary transit corridor through this sparsely settled region, connecting the rugged heights of Miller Mtn with the deep contours of Maggie Canyon. The map reveals a land defined by its natural drainage patterns and the stark verticality of its namesake mountain ranges.
