About this map

Middle Camp Mountain dominates the central landscape of this western Arizona survey, situated within the wider Dome Rock Mountains range. To the east, the settlement of Quartzsite serves as a critical junction for modern travelers where 60 95 and Interstate 10 converge. The terrain is defined by its complex network of desert washes and high passes, reflecting a landscape shaped by seasonal water movement and topographic barriers. Notable transit points through the high ground include Diablo Pass, Marquitta Pass, and Boyer Gap, which provided historical passage across the ridgelines long before modern pavement.

The arid character of the region is punctuated by features like Oldman Tanque, a vital water source in this desert environment, and the broad stretches of the La Posa Plain and La Paz Valley. Along the southern boundary, the elevations of Sugarloaf Peak and Granite Mtn provide distinctive landmarks for those navigating the rugged territory south of the primary transportation corridors. This map documents the essential balance between the natural barriers of the mountains and the human infrastructure established to cross them.
