2014 Map of Fourth of July Butte

About this map

The Harquahala Plain defines the northern reaches of this landscape, where a grid of rural routes including W Dobbins Rd and S 491st Ave meet the desert floor. The terrain shifts dramatically to the south, dominated by the prominent volcanic landform of Fourth of July Butte and the high point at Dixie Peak. Drainage patterns across this arid basin are marked by the winding courses of Centennial Wash, Fourth of July Wash, and Quail Spring Wash. A handful of artificial landmarks, such as Galleto Tank, indicate the sparse water management required in this environment. The southern portion is navigated by W Agua Caliente Rd, tracing the base of the mountains through the townships of t2s r8w and t2s r7w.
