2014 Map of The Grandstand

About this map

Rock Crossing serves as a central landmark in this arid portion of Mohave County, where the landscape is defined by its water management and distinct geologic formations. The area is dominated by the Hurricane Cliffs and the elevated Uinkaret Plateau, with drainage patterns visible through Hurricane Wash and Salaratus Draw. This 2014 survey reveals a network of essential water sources for ranching and survival, including the Rock Crossing Reservoir, Higley Twin Tanks, and Marchant Tank. Transportation through the region follows established routes like the Navajo Trail Rd and Sunshine Trail Rd, which navigate the varying elevations and the broad expanse of the Lower Hurricane Valley. Notable landmarks like The Grandstand provide vertical relief against the system of tanks and ponds, such as Kirk Pond and Toquer Tank, that sustain this high desert environment.
