2014 Map of Cabeza Prieta Peak

About this map

Cabeza Prieta Peak rises as the central landmark of this Yuma County desert landscape, where the Cabeza Prieta Mountains dominate the horizon. Water sources, vital for survival in this arid environment, are mapped at Halfway Tank and the Cabeza Prieta Tanks, indicating the critical nature of these catchments for those navigating the region. The map details the complex terrain of the A-one Basin and the narrow passage of Cabeza Prieta Pass, reflecting the traditional routes through this isolated portion of Arizona. To the south, Tordillo Mountain and the drainage of Smoke Tree Wash define the local topography, while Surprise Canyon marks the eastern reaches of the survey. The absence of modern infrastructure highlights the preserved, wild character of the land as recorded in the early 21st century.
