About this map

Courthouse Rock stands as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape, where the Eagletail Mountains transition into the level expanses of the Harquahala Plain. This 2014 survey captures a region defined by its distinct geological formations and the intersection of three Arizona counties. The rugged topography is punctuated by features like Granite Mtn and Anvil Mtn, while the presence of Willow Spring suggests a critical water source in an otherwise arid environment.

Modern infrastructure, including W Centennial Rd and Aguila Rd, cuts through the northern flats, providing access to this remote portion of Maricopa County. The map is particularly useful for identifying natural landmarks such as the multiple instances of Natural Arch and the high point of Eagletail Peak. It serves as a detailed record of the borderlands where La Paz, Yuma, and Maricopa counties meet amidst the volcanic and metamorphic ridges of the Sonoran Desert.
