2018 Map of Bryan Mountains

About this map

The Bryan Mountains dominate the eastern expanse of this quadrangle, rising sharply from the surrounding desert floor. This 2018 survey documents a largely undeveloped landscape where the steep, rocky ridges of the mountains transition into the broad, flat expanses of the Mohawk Valley to the west and the San Cristobal Valley to the northeast. To the far southwest, the northern tip of the Sierra Pinta emerges, indicating the complex topography of the Yuma County desert. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System divisions, specifically t12s r12w, t12s r11w, t13s r12w, and t13s r11w, which define the administrative grid of this arid region. The lack of roads or established settlements emphasizes the character of this protected landscape, preserved as part of the Southwest's desert wilderness.
