2011 Map of Courthouse Well

About this map

Harquahala Plain defines the arid character of this La Paz County landscape, where water management is central to the local infrastructure. The massive Central Arizona Project Aqueduct cuts a clean east-west line across the terrain, contrasting with the natural, wandering course of Tiger Wash and other ephemeral drainages. In a region where every water source is critical, the map identifies isolated points like Courthouse Well, Eagletail Tank, and Mesquite Tank. The settlement of Centennial sits at a crossroads of modern transportation, positioned near the intersection of major desert thoroughfares. Historical transit corridors such as Buckeye-Salome Rd and Salome Rd provide the primary access through this desert expanse, illustrating the grid of section roads that impose order on the open basin.
