2011 Map of Standard Wash

About this map

Lake Havasu and the Colorado River define the southwestern corner of this desert landscape, where the water meets the arid drainage systems of Mohave County. The map is dominated by a complex network of dry washes that channel seasonal runoff toward the river, most notably the extensive Standard Wash which winds across the center of the quadrangle. Highlighting the scarce water resources of the region, the survey identifies localized water sources such as Screwbean Spring and Gold Spring in the northern reaches. Settlement patterns are sparse, with development largely confined to the western edge near Martinique Dr, signaling the fringe of Lake Havasu City's residential growth. Inland access is provided by unpaved tracks like Screwbean Well Rd, reflecting the area's use for recreation and resource management in the early twenty-first century.
