About this map

Warm Springs and its surrounding desert hydrology anchor this 2021 study of Mohave County. Situated within the Black Mountains, the landscape is defined by its arid drainage patterns, ranging from the steep confines of Warm Springs Canyon to the broad alluvial reach of Warm Springs Wash. High points like Black Mesa and Ute Mtn dominate the horizon, marking the transition between the rugged volcanic peaks and the western edge of the Sacramento Valley.

Surface water sources are critical features in this reach of the Mojave Desert, including Antelope Spring and Alkali Spring. These isolated water points have historically dictated movement through the Ute Mountains and provided essential resources for wildlife and travelers alike. The map provides a precise look at the modern topography of these high-desert elevations and the intricate system of seasonal washes that flow from the mountain flanks.
