| dc.description | The Rattlesnake Hill 7.5’ quadrangle is located in Mohave County, northwestern Arizona, about 10 km east of Kingman. The southern portion of the quadrangle consists of the northern Hualapai Mountains, while the northern portion is mainly low-relief alluvial plains. Rattlesnake Hill is the only feature of significant topographic relief north of Interstate 40, which trends roughly east-west through the quadrangle. An important watershed divide trends northwest from near the southeastern corner to the west-central portion of the quadrangle. Southwest of this divide is the Thirteenmile Wash-Sacramento Wash watershed, which in the quadrangle is drained by Sawmill Canyon. This stream system is integrated with the Colorado River. Northeast of the watershed divide is the Frees Wash subdivision of the Red Lake Playa watershed. Red Lake Playa is the low point of Hualapai Valley, and is primarily an internally drained watershed not integrated with the Colorado River. The main drainages in this watershed within the quadrangle are Frees Wash and Hualapai Canyon. Average annual rainfall in the quadrangle ranges from 8 to 16 inches, with the higher precipitation values concentrated over the Hualapai Mountains in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The bedrock geology of this quadrangle includes Paleoproterozoic metamorphic rocks that experienced migmatization during the emplacement of a Mesoproterozoic megacrystic granite. Additionally, the Neogene Peach Spring Tuff, and other Neogene lava flows are exposed in the southwestern part of the map and dip gently WNW.
