The peak is a prominent landmark from the surrounding [[Mohave Valley]] which extends mostly north-south on the eastern border of the Colorado River, but extends into the tri-state region of Nevada, [[California]], and [[Arizona]]. Much of the Mohave Valley is made up of the [[Fort Mojave Indian Reservation]], also in the three states, and the [[Topock Marsh]], in Arizona.
