2014 Map of Swansea

About this map

Swansea sits within a complex geological landscape defined by the Bill Williams River, which carves a path between the Rawhide Mountains to the north and the Buckskin Mountains to the south. This 2014 survey documents the remote transition zone between Mohave and La Paz counties, characterized by sharp elevation changes and distinctive landforms like Clara Peak and Miners Arch. The region is accessible via primitive routes such as Lincoln Ranch Rd and Johnson Ranch Rd, which navigate the desert terrain far from major urban centers. The settlement of Swansea itself is a focal point of historical interest, serving as a reminder of the region's mining heritage in the rugged interior of the Arizona desert. The map provides a precise look at the township and range system (T11N, T10N, T9N) that governs this isolated reach of the American Southwest.
