2011 Map of Tin Mountain

About this map

Tin Mountain and the Cottonwood Mountains dominate this Mohave County landscape, where arid terrain is punctuated by vital water sources like Faculty Springs and Mesquite Thicket Spring. The 2011 survey reveals a sparse network of roads, including Silver Springs Rd and Knight Creek Rd, which navigate the drainages of Cottonwood Creek and Knight Creek. These corridors and the presence of Frontage Rd suggest the area's role as a transit path through the high desert. Local landmarks such as Pyramid Rock provide clear navigational markers in a region where the natural topography remains the primary feature, relatively undisturbed by dense settlement. The map captures the alignment of modern infrastructure, such as the Powerline Rd, as it cuts across the traditional drainages of Willow Creek.
