2014 Map of Charlie Died Tank

About this map

Kofa Mountains rise sharply above the desert floor in this arid portion of Yuma County, casting a rugged profile over the surrounding drainage systems. The landscape is defined by its water management history in an environment where moisture is scarce, centered on the oddly named Charlie Died Tank in the northeast. This catchment system, alongside ephemeral watercourses like N Star Wash and Yaqui Wash, illustrates the critical importance of seasonal runoff in the Southwest. To the south, the terrain levels out into the broad expanse of King Valley. Remote access to this wilderness is maintained through the Welton Kofa Rd, a desert route connecting the isolated mountain peaks and valleys to the wider region. The map provides a precise look at the township and range survey lines that divide this otherwise open and undeveloped territory.
