2014 Map of Tom Brown Canyon

About this map

Tom Brown Canyon and the surrounding high desert of Mohave County are defined by a critical network of water sources in a landscape of dramatic vertical relief. This 2014 survey documents a series of named springs that have likely served as vital landmarks for generations, including Indian Cradle Spring, Buckley Tunnel Spring, and Blue Mary Spring. These points of reliable water, tucked into drainages like Divide Canyon, are the primary focal points of human activity and survival in the arid terrain south of Trout Cr.
