2021 Map of Sullivan Draw South

About this map

Sullivan Draw and its surrounding desert topography define this portion of Mohave County, where water management is the primary marker of human activity on the land. The landscape is dotted with numerous small catchment features such as Engelstead Tank, Nutter Tank, and Lower Sullivan Tank, which support cattle or local wildlife in this arid environment. Significant drainage systems like Hobble Canyon and Sevy Draw carve through the terrain, leading toward larger catchments like the Sullivan Reservoir. The map reveals a network of named water sources including High Bliss Pond, Ivanpah Pond, and Alice Pond, reflecting the importance of every localized water point in the high desert. This 2021 survey provides a contemporary view of these essential landmarks and the rugged drainage patterns that have shaped the region's geography.
