2018 Map of Signal Mountain

About this map

The Big Sandy River defines the western corridor of this desert landscape, where the Signal Area Cem stands as a quiet marker of local history near the river's edge. Rising prominently from the center of the sheet, Signal Mtn serves as a natural landmark overlooking the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert. The terrain transitions into the high ridges of the Artillery Mountains to the south, cut by deep drainages like Arrastra Canyon and Hackberry Canyon. This arid environment is punctuated by vital water sources such as Alamo Spring, Cattail Spring, and Chino Spring, which have historically dictated travel and survival in the region. Local access is provided by unpaved routes like Alamo Rd and Signal Rd, reflecting the remote and sparsely settled nature of this part of Mohave County.
