2011 Map of Sullivan Draw North

About this map

Sullivan Draw defines the drainage of this arid Mohave County landscape, where survival and settlement depend entirely on the management of seasonal water. The 2011 survey reveals an intricate network of tanks and small impoundments such as White Rock Tanks and Whiterock Soapstone Reservoir, essential for ranching and wildlife in this high desert region. Transport is limited to rugged tracks like Co HWY 5, which navigates the gap at Wolf Hole Pass. The map highlights several specialized catchment points, including School Section Pond and Thistle Flat Pond, illustrating how water rights and land use are etched into the geography of the Arizona Strip. These features, along with Wolf Hole Valley Pond, mark the isolated outposts of human activity in an otherwise sparsely populated terrain defined by its complex topography and reliance on isolated water sources.
