2014 Map of Aguila Mountains NE

About this map

The Aguila Mountains anchor the southwestern portion of this 2014 survey, rising sharply from the desert floor on the border of Maricopa and Yuma counties. This arid landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, most notably the braided course of Tenmile Wash which cuts across the northern flats. A critical water resource in this environment is the Natural Tank, situated within the mountain complex itself. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century when this corner of the Sonoran Desert remained largely undeveloped, characterized by public lands and a network of ephemeral watercourses rather than permanent settlements or industrial sites.
