2011 Map of Tincanebitts Point

About this map

Sanup Plateau dominates this high-desert landscape in Mohave County, where the terrain is defined by dramatic promontories and vital water sources. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the topographic character of a region where landmarks like Tincanebitts Point and Burnt Canyon Point overlook a complex network of drainage patterns. For researchers or those interested in the geographic history of the Arizona Strip, the map identifies critical, named water points such as Tincanebitts Spring, Joe Spring, and Burnt Canyon Spring. These localized springs have historically dictated the movement of people and livestock across this arid environment. The presence of Red Point further highlights the distinctive geological features that serve as primary navigation markers on the plateau.
