2021 Map of Horn

About this map

The Palomas Mountains rise above the arid basin floor, overlooking the intersection of desert washes and sparse agricultural corridors in this part of Yuma County. The small settlement of Horn sits along the northern edge of a straight-line transport corridor defined by Hyder Rd and the Southern Pacific rail alignment, providing a focused point of human presence within the wide San Cristobal Valley. To the south, the Gila River meanders across the landscape, flanked by the seasonal drainage of Hoodoo Wash. The map reveals a strict grid of county roads, including Palmas Rd and Ave 64 E, which delineate land parcels and access points throughout the valley. This 2021 survey illustrates the modern configuration of desert roads and water management systems near the river bottomlands.
