2014 Map of Bear Hills

About this map

Brenda serves as a central hub in this arid landscape where the Ranegras Plain meets the rugged slopes of the Bear Hills. This region of La Paz County is defined by a sparse network of roads like Ramsey Mine Rd and Twin Buttes, which hint at the area's prospecting history and connectivity across the desert floor. The settlement of Vicksburg and the location of Pioneer anchor the northeastern portion of the map, situated along the primary transportation corridor of Us-60. In the northwest, the Plomosa Mountains rise abruptly, creating a stark visual contrast with the surrounding flats. The map illustrates a typical Southwestern pattern of development, where modern highways follow the natural grades used by earlier desert travelers and miners.
