2014 Map of Snap Draw

About this map

The Upper Grand Wash Cliffs dominate this portion of Mohave County, where the high desert plateau begins its dramatic descent toward the Colorado River watershed. This landscape is defined by its drainage systems and water security, with ephemeral features like Snap Draw and Salt House Draw carving through the arid terrain. The southern reaches of the map include a portion of Grand Canyon National Park, specifically around Tincanebitts Canyon and Dry Canyon. For those studying land use in this remote corner of Arizona, the map reveals a network of vital water catchments such as Gardner Tank, Snap Tank, and the Upper Salt House Tank. These features, along with Snap Spring, trace the traditional routes and resource points used by ranchers and travelers moving across the high country near Mustang Point.
