2018 Map of Growler

About this map

The Gila River corridor defines the geography of this Yuma County landscape, where the flat agricultural expanses of the Mohawk Valley meet the rising slopes of the Mohawk Mountains. The settlement pattern follows a rigid section-line grid of rural roads, including S Ave 45 E and various numbered East County streets, supporting the small communities of Growler and Norton. This map documents a desert agricultural economy reliant on managed water, evidenced by the presence of Canal Rd north of the river. To the northwest, the prominent Signal Butte stands as a distinct landmark above the valley floor, providing a sharp contrast to the irrigated fields that characterize the central portion of the quadrangle.
