The range is part of a three-range sequence of mildly arc-shaped ranges, and two intermountain valleys in the Maria fold and thrust belt, a region in western Arizona and southeast Southern California, with the Colorado River flowing south through the western part of the belt.

Buckskin Mountain State Park borders the south of the Bill Williams River.

Buckskin Mountain State Park is at its confluence in the northwest at the Colorado River.

It is known to locals as "P Mountain" due to the large white "P" painted on its west side by the nearby town of Parker.

The northwest also has the Buckskin Mountains extending into a western section at the confluence of the Colorado and Bill Williams Rivers.
