2014 Map of Signal

About this map

The settlement of Signal sits along the northern edge of the Mojave Desert in Mohave County, where the desert floor transitions into the elevated terrain of Black Mesa and the Chuckwalla Hills. This 2014 survey captures a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and mining access, featuring the Signal Area Cem and Signal Spring near the primary townsite. The local geography is etched by prominent drainages like Graveyard Wash, Rupley Wash, and Madril Wash, which navigate the complex topography around Madril Peak and Eagle Point. The transportation network is built for rugged utility, anchored by Signal Rd, McCracken Mine Rd, and Alamo Crossing Rd, reflecting the area's history of mineral extraction and remote desert transit. Isolated water sources like Maggie Tank further emphasize the arid character of this high-desert environment.
