2018 Map of Russell Spring

About this map

Russell Spring sits at the base of the prominent Hurricane Cliffs, a defining geological feature of this Mohave County landscape. The distribution of water resources like Sunshine Tank, Carroll Catchment Tank, and Hidden Tank suggests a territory managed for livestock grazing and rangeland use. These essential water points are scattered across the high desert terrain, connected by primitive routes such as Co HWY 105 and Co RD 5. Distinctive elevations like Diamond Butte and Twin Butte provide clear landmarks for navigation through the drainage systems of Hurricane Wash. The named reservoirs, including Sheep Pockets Reservoir and J W Spendlove Reservoir, reflect the history of local landholders and the logistical necessity of water storage in this arid environment.
