2012 Map of Big Maria Mountains SE

About this map

The Colorado River defines the eastern boundary of this landscape, carving through the desert terrain as it passes Halfway Bend and flows between Hall Island and Horse Island. This 2012 survey documents the specific riverside camps and family holdings that line the western bank, including Haakers Camp, Thompsons Camp, and Hills Ranch. To the west, the arid slopes of the Big Maria Mountains rise from the valley floor, creating a stark contrast to the irrigated developments and small residential roads like Villa Shores Dr and Pleasant Ln near the water's edge. A significant archaeological landmark, the Giant Indian Intaglios, is situated on the plateau overlooking the river, representing a prehistoric geoglyph site preserved within this modern topographic study. The map also traces the infrastructure of the region, from the primary route of Indian Rte 29 to various ranch access points near Black Point.
