2018 Map of Harquahala Mountain

About this map

Harquahala Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape along the border of La Paz and Maricopa counties. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages and gaps, including Sunset Pass and the winding Browns Canyon. Water sources, while sparse, are specifically marked at points like Tunnel Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and Seep Spring, indicating the vital importance of these locations for ranching or travel in an arid environment. Evidence of historical prospecting or small-scale mining activity is suggested by the naming of Arrastre Gulch, where traditional ore-grinding tools were likely used. Only a single significant roadway, Eagle Eye Rd, skirts the southeastern corner, leaving the interior accessible primarily through rugged natural features like West Fork Sunset Canyon and Blue Tank Canyon.
