About this map

Lechuguilla Desert terrain dominates this corner of Yuma County, illustrating the arid landscape in its 2018 configuration. The map details the drainage patterns of the region, specifically tracking the paths of Coyote Wash and La Jolla Wash as they navigate the low-lying basins. These ephemeral watercourses are vital to understanding the hydrology of the area, punctuated by the site known as Coyote Water near the western edge.

Mountainous topography defines the borders of the desert floor, with the Cabeza Prieta Mountains rising in the northeast and the Sierra de la Lechuguilla appearing in the south. Individual peaks such as Tordillo Mtn provide distinct landmarks for navigation across this unpopulated section of Arizona. This USGS survey accurately reflects the contemporary state of these protected desert lands, providing a precise record of the natural features and public land survey boundaries.
