2018 Map of Mohawk

About this map

The Mohawk Valley landscape is dominated by the dramatic rise of the Mohawk Mountains in the northeast, where steep contours define the desert horizon. This arid region of Yuma County centers on the settlement of Mohawk, situated along a major transportation corridor that parallels the ancient drainage of Owl Wash. To the west, the smaller settlement of Owl sits near the junction of several section-line roads, including E Co 6th St and S Ave 45 E. The arid nature of the terrain is evidenced by the prominent Mohawk Wash and the presence of Mohawk Wls, indicating the critical importance of water management in this segment of the Sonoran Desert. The map captures a grid of rural roads like S Ave 46 E that attempt to tame the open spaces between the mountains and the desert floor.
