2021 Map of Buzzards Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Chocolate Mountains dominate this arid landscape in Imperial County, where the stark topography of the Colorado Desert is revealed in sharp relief. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Vinagre Wash, which carves through the central and eastern portions of the quadrangle. High points like Buzzards Peak and the depression of Gold Basin suggest a region historically valued for its geological diversity rather than settlement. Transportation through this part of the desert is limited to long-established desert tracks like Midway Well Rd and Blythe Ogilby Rd, which provide access across the basin. The presence of Arrowhead Springs near the eastern edge of the mountains highlights the rare water sources that would have been critical for travelers and early explorers navigating these ranges.
