2014 Map of Aguila Mountains SE

About this map

The Aguila Mountains and the northern reaches of the Granite Mountains define this arid landscape at the tri-county intersection of Yuma, Maricopa, and Pima counties. This region is dominated by the sprawling southern portion of The Barry M Goldwater Air Force Range, a massive military installation that restricts access across much of the terrain. The map captures a high-desert environment where water management is critical, evidenced by the presence of isolated water features like Don Diego Tank, Eagle Tank, and Thompson Tank. The drainage patterns of Growler Wash and Daniels Arroyo illustrate the intermittent hydrology that has shaped the local geography between the peaks and the flat reaches of Childs Valley. Distinctive geological features such as the Aguila Arch and the prominent Red Point serve as landmarks in this sparsely populated desert expanse.
