2014 Map of Agua Caliente

About this map

Agua Caliente sits at the base of the Agua Caliente Mountains in this arid region of southwestern Arizona. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Gila River, which flows through the Hyder Valley and past the elevated Sears Point. This 2014 survey documents the complex drainage system of the desert floor, where Columbus Wash, Nottbusch Wash, and Sentinel Wash carve paths through the Sentinel Plain and Stanwix Flats. The prominent S Agua Caliente Rd serves as a primary transit corridor, crossing the Yuma Co Maricopa Co boundary line. Geographically, the map illustrates the transition from mountain foothills to broad alluvial plains, showing the sparse but critical infrastructure required to navigate this portion of the Sonoran Desert.
