About this map

Red Pockets Mountain dominates the high ground of this Arizona landscape, which was documented during a 1979 field check for this provisional survey. The area is defined by its drainage systems, including the long stretches of Cottonwood Wash and Hungry Valley that cut through the arid terrain. While largely devoid of permanent settlements, the map records essential water sources and livestock markers critical for managing this remote portion of Mohave County.

Ephemeral features such as Red Pockets Tanks and the reliable Cove Spring provide anchor points for movement across the desert. A single Corral located near the spring indicates the land's utility for ranching, while the high elevations of Cottonwood Ridge and Mosby overlook a network of seasonal washes like Pakoon Wash and Cedar Wash. This survey offers a detailed view of the natural water management and landform names established by the mid-1980s.
