2011 Map of Castle Dome Peak

About this map

Castle Dome Peak dominates the landscape of Yuma County, marking a prominent high point in the Castle Dome Mountains. This arid terrain is defined by a network of drainage features such as Los Angeles Wash and Gravel Wash, which indicate the seasonal movement of water through the desert floor. Human activity and livestock management are evidenced by several catchment sites, including McPherson Tank, Saguaro Tank, and Hanging Tank, as well as the secluded Doc Carter Spring. The primary access into this remote mining district is via the Castle Dome Mine Rd, which cuts across the southwest corner of the quadrangle. The map captures the specialized infrastructure of the American Southwest, where water sources and access roads are critical for navigating the dry mountain ranges.
