2014 Map of Bouse Hills East

About this map

Bouse and the neighboring settlements of Utting and Vicksburg sit within a landscape defined by desert washes and modern water infrastructure in La Paz County. The Central Arizona Project Aqueduct carves a distinct path through the western part of this territory, bypassing the Bouse Hills and the southern Butler Valley. This 2014 survey reveals the reliance on local drainage patterns, including the prominent Cunningham Wash and Big Granite Wash, which dominate the lowlands between the hills and the Granite Wash Mountains to the southeast. Roads like Grahams Well Rd and Tank Pass Rd provide access to this arid interior, where the high-ground landforms of the Butler Valley provide a stark contrast to the surrounding alluvial plains and drainage basins.
