2011 Map of Margies Peak

About this map

Margies Peak anchors this southwestern Arizona landscape, serving as a prominent geographical marker in a region defined by its desert drainage patterns. In the early 21st century, the area remains largely undeveloped, characterized by a complex network of ephemeral washes that channel water during seasonal rains. Functional infrastructure is primarily limited to water catchments like Hazen Tank and the CCC tank in the northern reaches, which reflect the necessity of water management in this arid environment. The road network, including Ocotillo Rd and Komatke Rd, follows a predominantly rectilinear grid typical of Western land surveys, yet many routes like W Woods Rd appear as isolated tracks across the desert floor. This map captures the intersection of traditional desert resource management and modern logistical boundaries south of the Gila River valley.
