2018 Map of Silver Reef Mountains

About this map

The Silver Reef Mountains dominate this Sonoran Desert landscape, rising above a network of ephemeral drainages and scattered rural settlements. The drainage patterns of Silver Reef Wash and Greene Wash dictate the topography, carving paths through the Silver Reef Valley and toward the smaller Shopishk Valley to the east. Human settlement is concentrated in the northern reaches, where Chuichu and Shopishk are situated near the prominent White Horse Pass. To the southwest, the Tat Momoli Mountains loom, while the Sawtooth Mountains are visible at the southeastern edge of the quadrangle. Transport across this arid terrain is facilitated by several named Indian Routes and local roads, including Indian Rte 44 and Indian Rte 53, which connect the isolated valleys and mountain passes. The map illustrates a landscape where natural geological formations like Silver Reef Pass remain the primary landmarks for navigation.
