2018 Map of Courthouse Well

About this map

The Harquahala Plain dominates this arid landscape, bisected by the massive engineering works of the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct. This section of the desert floor, located near the La Paz and Maricopa County border, reveals a network of rural routes such as Aguila Rd and Eagle Eye Rd that provide access to isolated water sources. Significant landmarks for local travelers and ranchers include Courthouse Well and Eagletail Tank, which serve as vital points of interest in a region primarily shaped by wide ephemeral drainages like Tiger Wash. The map illustrates the 21st-century infrastructure of the American Southwest, where modern water management systems and interstate corridors cross through traditional desert reaches defined by section lines and remote roadway extensions like W Camelback Rd.
