2021 Map of Hope

About this map

Hope serves as the primary landmark in this desert region of La Paz County, situated at a vital junction of local roads and desert transit routes. The landscape is defined by the stark transition from the alluvial fans of Granite Wash and Upper Bouse Wash to the abrupt rises of the Granite Wash Mountains and the Little Harquahala Mountains. A massive engineering feat, the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct cuts a distinctive diagonal path across the arid terrain, illustrating the modern management of water in the American Southwest. Local topography is anchored by prominent elevations such as Pyramid Peak, while historical transit is suggested by routes like Black Cat Pass Rd which navigates the gap at Granite Wash Pass.
