About this map

Rock Crossing serves as a central landmark in this arid portion of Mohave County, where the management of water dominates the landscape. The reliance on seasonal catchments and scattered reservoirs is evident through numerous features such as Rock Crossing Reservoir, Toquer Tank, and Marchant Tank. These water sources are vital across the high desert terrain, which is defined by significant geographical rises like the Hurricane Cliffs and the prominent formation known as The Grandstand.

Surface drainage patterns are carved into the earth at Salaratus Draw and Sunshine Draw, illustrating the erosive forces at work in this region. Local transportation is limited to established routes like Navajo Trl and Co Hwy 105, which navigate between isolated ponds and tanks including Kellands Pond and Higley Twin Tanks. This 2011 survey documents a landscape where traditional ranching infrastructure and remote terrain remain the primary characteristics of the land.
