2018 Map of Sullivan Draw South

About this map

Sullivan Draw and its complex network of seasonal drainage features dominate this portion of the Arizona Strip in Mohave County. In this high-desert landscape, water management is the primary visible human intervention, as evidenced by a series of engineered water catchments like Sullivan Reservoir, Engelstead Tank, and Nutter Tank. These features reflect the area's ongoing importance for livestock grazing and land management, where every localized depression and draw serves a functional purpose. The terrain is defined by dramatic landforms such as Hobble Canyon and Sevy Draw, which channel the scarce precipitation across the plateau. Named features like High Bliss Pond and Ivanpah Pond indicate the specific locations where ranchers and land managers have long focused their efforts to sustain operations in an arid environment.
