2011 Map of Black Peak

About this map

Black Peak anchors the northern landscape of this arid La Paz County region, serving as a prominent topographic landmark in the desert terrain. The area is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of significant desert watercourses, including the broad Osborne Wash crossing the northern corner and Bouse Wash cutting through the southwestern edge. These washes trace the movement of seasonal waters across a largely unpopulated expanse where the primary human footprint is marked by Shea Rd in the north. The survey illustrates the stark, natural character of the Arizona desert, highlighting how elevation and hydrology dictate the layout of the land far from major population centers.
