2014 Map of Hyder

About this map

Agua Caliente Mountains anchor the southwestern corner of this desert landscape, where the settlement of Hyder marks a transition between the rugged heights and the broad, wash-cut basin of the Hyder Valley. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage channels, including Columbus Wash, Notthbusch Wash, and Copper Wash, which flow across the arid flats. This 2014 representation captures a sparsely populated region on the Yuma and Maricopa County line, structured by a grid of agricultural and access roads such as W Rhodes Ave and W Highline Rd. A notable historical trace appears in the alignment of W Butterfield Stage Rd, recalling the era of early overland travel through the Southwest. Small outposts like Camel and the various county-line corridors highlight the remote character of this high-desert environment.
