2018 Map of Midway NW

About this map

The Crater Range dominates the southern landscape of this Arizona quadrangle, where the terrain transitions from steep rocky elevations to the broad desert floor. Cutting across the center and northern portions of the map, Midway Wash defines the drainage patterns of this arid region, showing the characteristic seasonal hydrology of the Sonoran Desert. The map reveals a stark contrast between the natural topography and the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System, including sections of t8s r7w and t9s r6w. A distinct grid of local roads in the southeast corner provides evidence of land development or desert subdivision planning, standing in isolation against the otherwise open terrain.
