About this map

Belmont Mountain rises as the central topographic feature of this arid landscape in Maricopa County, positioned within a complex network of ephemeral desert drainages. The area is defined by the convergence of several major washes, including Woodchopper Wash, Jackrabbit Wash, and the uniquely named Beer Bottle Wash, which together carve through the surrounding terrain. Toward the northeast, the land flattens into the Hassayampa Plain, illustrating the transition from the rugged peaks of the Belmont Mountains to the open desert floor.

Transportation through this region relies on historic desert routes like Vulture Mine Rd and Aguila Rd, which connect the isolated peaks and water resources such as Owl Tank and Twin Tanks. The grid of the Public Land Survey System, including townships like t4n r6w, imposes a geometric order over the winding paths of Coyote Wash and Blue Wash. This 2014 survey serves as a precise guide to the named landmarks and hydrology of a quintessential Sonoran Desert environment.
