2014 Map of Secret Pass

About this map

The transition between the Sacramento Valley and the Black Mountains is the defining characteristic of this landscape near the edge of the Mojave Desert. The community of Golden Valley occupies the eastern portion of the sheet, defined by a regular grid of residential roads such as W Redwall Dr and W Bolsa Dr. These desert roads extend toward the western highlands, where the topography becomes significantly more complex as it approaches the Secret Pass area. This rugged corridor includes unique geological features such as Cowboy Arch and Hualapai Arch. Water, a critical resource in this arid environment, is represented by Trough Spring and the drainage networks of Sacramento Wash and Secret Pass Wash. High-speed transit is facilitated by Az-68, which cuts through the northern portion of the quadrangle.
