About this map

The Aguila Mountains define the southern landscape of this desert region, where sharp elevation changes meet the dry expanse of the Sonoran landscape. This 2018 survey captures the intricate drainage patterns of the north-facing slopes, notably the Tenmile Wash which cuts across the upper reaches of the quadrangle. The map documents the political boundary between Yuma Co and Maricopa Co, providing a precise record of how these two Arizona jurisdictions meet in this arid backcountry.

Intermittent water sources, such as the Natural Tank located within the mountain foothills, are critical markers for understanding the historical movement and survival of people in this terrain. The map serves as a detailed study of the Public Land Survey System, showing the township and range divisions including t8s r11w and t9s r10w, which remain foundational for modern land ownership and navigation in the American Southwest.
