About this map

The arid drainage networks of Mohave County define this high-desert landscape, where ephemeral water management is the primary marker of human activity. The map reveals a complex system of livestock watering points and catchments, such as Engelstead Tank, Nutter Tank, and the larger Sullivan Reservoir. These features, alongside named ponds like Alice Pond and Ivanpah Pond, suggest a history of ranching and range management in an environment dictated by seasonal flows.

Surface topography is dominated by several significant washes, including Sullivan Draw, Sevy Draw, and the winding Little Joe Draw. The northern portion of the quadrangle is marked by Hobble Canyon and Hobble Pond, illustrating how the local terrain has been utilized to capture precious runoff. This 2014 survey serves as a detailed record of water infrastructure and land divisions within the Public Land Survey System, specifically across the townships of T36N and T37N.
