Chocolate Mountains dominate the interior of this Imperial County landscape, where the dry bed of Vinagre Wash carves through the arid terrain. The map captures a region defined by its isolation and specialized geographic features, such as the prominent summit at Buzzards Peak and the nearby Gold Basin. Transportation through this corner of the desert is facilitated by established routes like Midway Well Rd and Blythe Ogilby Rd, which provide access to the various sections and townships of this rugged survey. This 2018 edition provides an accurate view of the public land survey system and topography before recent shifts in land management or environmental changes in the California desert.
