2018 Map of Engesser Pass

About this map

Engesser Junction serves as the primary human landmark in this arid stretch of Yuma County, positioned at the western approach to the mountains. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the low-lying Palomas Plain and the complex topography of the Tank Mountains. A critical passage through these heights is provided by Engesser Pass, which facilitates travel through the rugged interior toward the prominent heights of Courthouse Mtn and the southern feature of Black Dome. Engesser Pass Rd offers a glimpse into the sparse but vital infrastructure required to navigate this portion of the Arizona desert. The map captures a moment of modern land management, documenting the section lines and township boundaries of T2S and T3S across the R14W to R16W ranges.
