2011 Map of Little Horn Mountains SE

About this map

The Little Horn Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this Yuma County quadrangle, where high desert terrain is defined by complex drainage systems and isolated peaks. This 2011 survey illustrates the arid geography of the Sonoran Desert, showing the varied elevations of the Clanton Hills in the southeast and the intermittent courses of Deadman Wash and Red Raven Wash. Water resources in such a climate are rare, represented here by the small catchment at Deadman Tank near the northeastern corner. The map traces the primitive road network and desert tracks that navigate between these landforms, revealing the sparse human footprint in a region largely shaped by volcanic geology and alluvial activity.
