2011 Map of Whitmore Point SE

About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep path through this section of Mohave County, where the desert landscape is defined by its complex drainage network and canyon topography. This 2011 survey illustrates the precise river mileage system used by navigators and geologists, marking locations like the Hundred and Ninetyfour Mile Canyon and the Hundred and Ninetysix Mile Creek. The waterway is punctuated by turbulent stretches such as the Two Hundred and Fivemile Rapids, situated near the confluence with Two Hundred and Fivemile Creek. To the west, the prominent landform known as Mollies Nipple stands as a distinct navigational marker above the Spring Canyon and Parashant Canyon systems. The map details the seasonal flow of Parashant Wash and Hundred and Ninetythree Mile Creek, revealing the high-relief environment where water availability dictated the movement of early explorers and surveyors.
