2011 Map of Tule Wash

About this map

Big Sandy River defines the western edge of this arid landscape in Mohave County, where the terrain is carved by an intricate network of seasonal drainage systems. The topography is dominated by several significant washes, including Tule Wash, Big Wash, and Burro Wash, which move water across the desert floor toward the river. To the east, the landscape rises into distinct natural features such as Bull Canyon, while northern drainages like Pearson Falls Wash lead toward Orhando Spring. Human infrastructure is sparse, represented primarily by the north-south corridor of CO Hwy 159 and a handful of rugged tracks. This map provides a clear record of the area's physical geography, from the deep cuts of Gunsight Canyon and Tompkins Canyon to the wide alluvial paths of the primary washes.
