About this map

Saint George Canyon anchors this high-desert topography in Mohave County, where the landscape is defined by its seasonal water sources and named landforms. The drainage systems of Last Chance Canyon and Upper Jump Canyon reveal a network of natural catchments and springs essential for survival in this arid environment. Ranching infrastructure is evident through features like Shoe Buckle Reservoir, Tweedie Hollow Tank, and Ferguson Tank, which serve as vital hubs in the open range.

Remote passage through the area is facilitated by Nutter Twists Rd, the primary artery weaving through the elevations of Tweeds Points and Link Point. Notable landmarks such as One Way Pass and the isolated Upper Jump Springs indicate the difficulty of the terrain, marking specific points of transit and water access that have likely served travelers and cattlemen for decades. This 2011 survey provides a clear view of the geographic features and water management points within this sparsely populated corner of the Arizona Strip.
