2021 Map of Reid Valley

About this map

Bill Williams River meanders across the northern portion of this map, carving a path through the arid landscape between the Rawhide Mountains to the north and the Buckskin Mountains to the south. The area is defined by the namesake Reid Valley, a low-lying basin where intermittent drainages like Mississippi Wash converge. Remote access to this section of the Arizona backcountry is provided by several primitive routes, including Johnson Ranch Rd and Lincoln Ranch Rd, which cross the high desert floor. The inclusion of Bernard Mine Rd indicates a history of mineral exploration in the surrounding mountain ranges, while the boundary between Mohave and La Paz counties follows the river's winding course, marking a political division rooted in the natural topography.
