2014 Map of Isla Pinta

About this map

The Sierra Pinta mountain range dominates this portion of Yuma County, providing a stark topographical spine between the Tule Desert to the west and the Mohawk Valley to the northeast. This 2014 survey captures a landscape defined by seasonal water catchments and severe elevation changes, where natural features like Heart Tank and Eagle Tank serve as critical hydrological markers in an otherwise arid environment. The map details the complex drainage systems of the range, including Hummingbird Canyon, Chia Canyon, and Eagle Canyon, which carve through the southern peaks. Navigational points such as Sunday Pass and the distinctive landform of Isla Pinta further illustrate the geography of this borderlands region, which remains largely shaped by its natural barriers and the historical township and range system.
