1979 Map of Rock Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Hurricane Cliffs dominate this Arizona landscape, carving a dramatic vertical line through the borderlands of Mohave County and Washington County. This late 1970s survey captures a network of historic pathways that once facilitated travel across the high desert, most notably the Temple Trail and the Honeymoon Trail. These routes follow the natural corridors provided by drainage systems like Fort Pearce Wash and Cottonwood Canyon. Water sources were critical for those traversing this arid terrain, as evidenced by remote landmarks such as Sand Spring, Coyote Spring, and Black Rock Canyon Well. The map illustrates the harsh necessity of following washes and springs in the shadow of the cliffs, reflecting the persistent geography of the Arizona Strip.
