About this map

Harcuvar Mountains dominate the southern half of this landscape, rising sharply above the desert floor to the summit at E C P Peak. This 1967 field-checked survey reveals an arid environment defined by seasonal drainage systems like Happy Camp Canyon and Webber Canyon, which funnel runoff toward the expansive Butler Valley in the northwest. In the northern reaches, the Buckskin Mountains and the feature known as Little frame the valley's edge.

Signs of human activity are sparse and primarily tied to the region's mineral potential. The Webber Mine sits tucked into the foothills near the southern boundary, while various Prospects are scattered through the higher elevations. Water management is critical in this terrain, evidenced by the presence of Burnt Well and a solitary Water Tank, markers of the infrastructure required for ranching or mining operations in this part of Arizona's Yuma County during the late 1960s.
