About this map

Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge and the Cabeza Prieta Wilderness dominate this desert landscape along the border of Pima and Yuma counties. The terrain is defined by dry lake beds and drainage patterns, specifically Pinta Playa and the San Cristobal Wash, which cut through the broad San Cristobal Valley.

Military and conservation boundaries overlap here, as the Barry M Goldwater Air Force Range encompasses much of the territory, including the prominent peaks of the Bryan Mountains and the Antelope Hills. The small settlement of Dos Playas sits at the edge of the Mohawk Valley, providing a rare point of human habitation in a region marked by extensive land-use restrictions and rugged alluvial fans.
