2014 Map of Middle Mountains North

About this map

Middle Mountains topography dominates this desert landscape, where the peaks descend into the broad expanse of the Castle Dome Plain. The arid terrain is defined by complex drainage systems, notably Indian Wash in the north and the extensive network of the Los Angeles Wash that cuts through the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The map captures a section of the La Paz and Yuma county line as it intersects these mountains and plains. Modern infrastructure is represented by the route of Us-95, which provides the primary north-south transit corridor through this remote region, following the gentler gradients of the western flats away from the rugged interior high points.
