About this map

The Harquahala Plain serves as the central landscape of this western Arizona survey, dominated by the massive infrastructure of the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct. This modern water-delivery system carves a distinct path across the desert floor, reflecting the critical role of engineering in the arid Southwest. To the southeast, the terrain rises sharply into the Eagletail Mountains, a prominent landform featuring the Natural Arch. The area's transportation network is defined by a series of specialized desert routes and utility access paths, such as At&T Frontage Rd and the curiously named Sore Finger Rd. While largely unpopulated, the map documents the meticulous township and range divisions, including t3n r13w and t2n r12w, which organize this expanse of La Paz County. Other local thoroughfares like Vinegarroon Rd and Palomas Harquahala Rd provide access through this stark, high-desert environment.
