2012 Map of Buzzards Peak
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
Gold Basin defines the central depression of this desert landscape in Imperial County, where the terrain is marked by extensive drainage networks including Vinagre Wash and Turnaround Wash. The area is characterized by these broad alluvial fans and washes that carve through the arid basin floor, directed by the topographical prominence of Buzzards Peak in the southwest corner. Transportation through this part of the California desert is facilitated by Blythe Ogilby Rd and Midway Well Rd, which cut through the western portion of the sheet. The spatial relationship between the named peak and the underlying basin provides a clear look at the geomorphology of the region, illustrating how seasonal water runoff has historically shaped the local environment.
