2021 Map of Mohawk Mountains SW

About this map

The Mohawk Mountains rise sharply above the desert floor in this arid expanse of Yuma County. This landscape is defined by the stark contrast between the steep ridgelines of the mountain range and the wide, open plains of the Mohawk Valley. Water is a transient but powerful sculptor here, evidenced by the extensive drainage network of Mohawk Wash, which carries seasonal runoff from the higher elevations across the valley floor. The map highlights the vastness of the public land survey system, showing the township and range divisions that structure this remote region. For those studying the geography of the Southwestern desert, this survey provides a precise look at how the terrain transitions from rugged peaks to alluvial fans in an area largely untouched by modern development.
