2011 Map of Bouse SW

About this map

Arid basin landscapes in La Paz County are defined here by a sparse network of desert roads and trails. The primary thoroughfare, Bouse-Quartzsite Rd, cuts across the southwestern corner of the quadrangle, serving as a critical link in the regional transportation corridor between established desert outposts. This route is joined by Plomosa Rd and the more primitive Sunkist Trl, which branch out toward the rugged interior. These roads trace the natural contours of the valley floor, highlighting how human movement in this part of Arizona is dictated by the availability of passible terrain between mountain ranges. State Route 95 also segments the western portion of the sheet, providing a North-South axis through this largely undeveloped expanse of the Sonoran Desert.
