2014 Map of Aztec Hills

About this map

Aztec and Dateland anchor this desert corridor in Yuma County, positioned along the vital transportation artery of the Interstate 8 and its accompanying Frontage Rd. The landscape is defined by the stark transition from the level floor of the San Cristobal Valley to the prominent rising elevations of the Aztec Hills and the distinct peaks of White Mountain and Half White Mountain. Drainage patterns are clearly etched across the arid terrain, most notably by the winding courses of Tenmile Wash and Canyon Diablo as they navigate the basin floor. A precise grid of section lines and local roads like N Avenue 70 E and E Co 2nd St reveals the late 20th-century land management and rural infrastructure that supports these small desert communities.
