2018 Map of Butler Mountains

About this map

The international border between the United States of America Estados Unidos Mexicanos defines the lower third of this arid landscape, cutting a sharp diagonal northwest to southeast. This desert region is characterized by stark landforms, including the isolated peaks of the Butler Mountains and the northern reaches of the Tinajas Altas Mountains to the east. Between these elevations lie the expansive Yuma Desert and Davis Plain, offering a clear view of the natural barriers and open terrain that have historically shaped cross-border movement and land management in this portion of Yuma County. The lack of built infrastructure on the 2018 sheet emphasizes the remote character of the desert floor and its surrounding mountain ranges.
