About this map

Hidden Points Rim anchors this high-elevation landscape in northwestern Arizona, where deep drainage systems like St George Canyon and Jump Canyon carve through the plateau. The map reveals a land utilized for both mining and livestock management in the late 1970s, evidenced by scattered resource sites like the Hidden Mines and Hardrock. Remote infrastructure is critical here, with numerous water catchments such as Ferguson Tank, The Bin Tank, and Post Office Tank supporting activity far from established settlements.

Travel through this terrain was largely restricted to a network of unimproved routes, including the notably named Nutter Twists Road and various jeep trails. Natural bottlenecks like One Way Pass and geographic markers such as Link Point define the navigation of the area's intricate canyon systems. The presence of Upper Jump Springs and Link Spring provides a rare look at the natural water sources that historically sustained movement across this part of Mohave County.
