2011 Map of Yucca

About this map

Sacramento Valley provides the arid backdrop for this study of southwestern transport and industry in Mohave County. The settlement of Yucca serves as a focal point, anchored by the Yucca Post Office and the specialized infrastructure of the Yucca Ford Automotive Proving Grounds. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of numerous desert washes, including Sacramento Wash, Mackenzie Wash, and Happy Jack Wash, which intersect the modern transit corridor. Modern interchanges like the West Yucca Interchange and Gem Acres Interchange facilitate movement through the region, while the historic alignment of the National Old Trails Rd can still be traced along the eastern edge. Near the center of the sheet, the locale of Haviland sits among the branching networks of Flatton Wash and Illavar Wash, illustrating the sparse but deliberate settlement pattern common to this stretch of the Arizona desert.
