2018 Map of Hope SW

About this map

Ranegras Plain dominates this arid landscape of western Arizona, characterized by expansive desert terrain and the critical infrastructure of the modern West. The Central Arizona Project Aqueduct cuts across the northern reaches of the quadrangle, representing the massive water management efforts essential to the region. Surface drainage is defined by the wandering path of Upper Bouse Wash, which provides a rare point of topographical contrast in the otherwise low-lying basin. To the northeast, the elevation rises toward Black Rock Hill, a distinct volcanic feature that anchors the surrounding flatlands. Transportation in this portion of La Paz County is limited to sparse corridors like Hovatter Rd and Vicksburg Rd, tracing the paths of long-established desert routes that continue to serve this sparsely populated area.
