2018 Map of Hyder NE

About this map

Hyder Valley and the southern slopes of the Gila Bend Mountains define this arid landscape along the Maricopa and Yuma county line. The terrain transitions from the elevated Picacho Hills and Black Mtn in the northwest down to the broad expanse of Sacaton Flats and Copper Valley. Drainage patterns are dictated by prominent seasonal waterways like Columbus Wash and Copper Wash, which cut across the desert floor toward the basin. Historically significant features such as a Natural Arch are noted near the county boundary, while the local road network, including W Agua Caliente Rd and S Harquahala Hyder Rd, provides the primary access through this sparsely populated desert reach. The map offers a clear view of the section lines and township grids that organize this part of the Arizona desert.
