2021 Map of Engesser Pass SW

About this map

Castle Dome Mountains rise sharply in the southwestern corner of this desert landscape, providing a striking contrast to the broad expanse of King Valley that dominates the eastern half of the map. This arid environment is defined by its isolation and limited infrastructure, characterized primarily by the path of Wellton-Kofa Rd, which serves as the principal artery through this part of Yuma County. The map details a complex network of dry washes and desert terrain within the Public Land Survey System grids, including sections of t4s r17w and t5s r16w. The spatial relationship between the jagged mountain peaks and the vast valley floor illustrates the classic basin and range geography of the region, offering a clear view of the wilderness as it appeared during the 2019–2021 survey period.
