About this map

Ehrenberg and the small settlement of Morgantown anchor this landscape along the border of Arizona and California. The terrain is defined by the stark transition from the fertile Palo Verde Valley and Great Colorado Valley near the Colorado River to the arid elevations of the Dome Rock Mountains. To the west, the Goodman Slough and Besa-Drain illustrate the managed hydrology of the river bottom, while the eastern heights are marked by prominent peaks such as La Paz Mountain.

Ephemeral water features like La Paz Wash, Goodman Wash, and Gonzales Wash cut through the rugged interior, revealing the drainage patterns toward the river. Local infrastructure is noted through routes like Mohave Dr and Patch Mine Rd, reflecting the historical mining and transport corridors that connected these desert outposts. Geographic landmarks such as Sunshine Gulch, Martinez Gulch, and the remote Goodman Tank provide specific points of interest for those studying the regional topography and local land use.
