2021 Map of Cabeza Prieta Peak

About this map

Cabeza Prieta Peak rises as a central landmark within this portion of the Cabeza Prieta Mountains in Yuma County. The arid landscape is defined by its seasonal hydrology and geological depressions, notably the A-one Basin and the winding Smoke Tree Wash. High-elevation crossings like Cabeza Prieta Pass connect the steep drainages of Surprise Canyon with the surrounding desert floor. Man-made and natural water collection points, including Halfway Tank and the Cabeza Prieta Tanks, provide crucial water sources in an otherwise parched environment. The map also identifies Tordillo Mtn to the southwest, illustrating the complex topographic relief of this protected wilderness area. This modern survey illustrates the precise land management boundaries and enduring landmarks of a region largely unchanged by development.
