2021 Map of White Pockets

About this map

Clayhole Wash and Sandridge Wash cut through this arid landscape in northern Mohave County, where water management is the primary marker of human activity. The map reveals a network of essential water points for ranching and travel, including Harolds Reservoir, Snake Pond, and Rockhole Pocket Reservoir. These features, along with the distinct geological formations of White Pocket and Chimney Rock, define a region where survival depended on knowing the locations of seasonal catchments and landmarks. The presence of the Navajo Trail Rd indicates a long-standing transit route through the high desert, connecting distant points across the plateau. To the south, The Black Rocks and the elevation at Flat Top provide natural orientation points for those navigating the open range between the various draws and runs.
