2011 Map of Wikieup

About this map

Big Sandy River defines the corridor of this arid Mohave County landscape, where US Route 93 follows the ancient path carved by the water. The settlement of Wikieup serves as a central point for the surrounding cattle operations and remote desert dwellings, anchored by the Wikieup Post Office. This 2011 survey documents a mix of legacy ranching and natural geothermal features, notably Cofer Hot Spring and long-established properties such as Hopewell Ranch and Meduele Ranch. Genealogists will find the locations of Sandy Cemetery and Noli Cemetery significant for tracing local family histories in this part of Arizona. The map further details the drainage network that feeds the river during seasonal rains, including Natural Corrals Wash, Bronco Creek, and the deeply incised Boner Canyon.
