1990 Map of Hoodoo Well

About this map

The Kofa National Wildlife Refuge dominates this desert landscape, where the Little Horn Mountains and Kofa Mountains overlook the Palomas Plain. The area is marked by a history of mineral exploration, evidenced by numerous prospects and specialized industrial sites like the Kofa Manganese Mine and an Open Pit Mine in the northern foothills. Vital water sources in this arid environment are represented by Hoodoo Well and North Hoodoo Well, which likely served as crucial stopping points along early desert routes. The southwestern corner transitions into the Yuma Proving Ground, while drainages like Red Raven Wash, Hoodoo Wash, and the evocatively named Moonshine Gulch define the hydrology of the basin. Transport is limited to primitive tracks such as Red Raven Road and the Kofa Manganese Road.
