The Aquarius Mountains are a 45 mile (72 km) long and 15 mile (24 km) wide mountain range in SE of Mohave County. They lie in T17N, R11W, G&SRM. The range lies in the northwest of the Arizona transition zone, and at the southwest of the Coconino Plateau, a subsection of the Colorado Plateau.

The Aquarius Mountains are mostly a north-south range that curves slightly south-southeast in the south. The north of the range merges into a hill and mountain peak region at the northwest of an adjacent range eastwards, the northwest-southeast Mohon Mountains.

Mineralization includes W and mica deposits.
