2018 Map of Buck Peak

About this map

Copper Mountains dominate the northwestern portion of this arid landscape in Yuma County, giving way to the expanse of the Lechuguilla Desert. This survey captures the transition between high desert peaks and the low-lying plains of the southwest, where seasonal hydrology and remote terrain dictate the pattern of human activity. The southern half of the map is defined by the Cabeza Prieta Mountains, a range characterized by steep contours and significant elevations such as Buck Peak. Essential water resources are scarce in this environment, with the Buck Peak Tank serving as a primary named water feature near the base of the mountains. This 2018 topographic data provides a high-resolution view of the natural relief and traditional township boundaries, including the intersection of t11s r16w and t12s r16w.
