2018 Map of Mohawk Mountains SW

About this map

Mohawk Mountains dominate the eastern portion of this arid landscape in Yuma County, their steep contours rising sharply above the surrounding desert floor. The topography here is defined by stark transitions between the high peaks and the broad, open expanses of the Mohawk Valley to the south. Tracking through the lowland basins, Mohawk Wash serves as the primary drainage feature, illustrating the natural watercourses that define the Southwest's basin and range province. This 2018 survey illustrates a largely undeveloped region, where the landscape is organized by the traditional Public Land Survey System, marked by township boundaries such as t10s r14w and t9s r13w. The map provides a clear look at the geological isolation and the intricate drainage patterns that characterize this portion of the Arizona desert.
