2018 Map of Mohawk Mountains NW

About this map

Mohawk Mountains dominate the southwestern portion of this Yuma County landscape, creating a stark vertical contrast against the broad desert basins that define the region's geography. Interstate 8 traverses the northern edge of the range, passing through Mohawk Pass near the small settlement of Kim. This corridor serves as a vital transportation artery, following a path between the Mohawk Valley to the west and the expansive San Cristobal Valley to the east. The drainage patterns are clearly marked by ephemeral features such as San Cristobal Wash and Owl Wash, which illustrate the hydrological movement across the arid terrain. The map's detail provides a look at the township and range survey lines that grid this corner of the Sonoran Desert, reflecting the systematic organization of land in the American West.
