About this map

The New Water Mountains form the central topographic character of this desert landscape in La Paz County. Dominant features such as Twin Peaks and the uniquely named The Eagles Eye provide clear navigational landmarks across the arid terrain. The map records a sparse but essential water network for this environment, including Charco Three, Hidden Tank, and East Tank, reflecting the critical nature of water management in the Arizona desert.

Industrial infrastructure is present via the El Paso Natural Gas Company Ac Rd, which traverses the southern portion of the range through New Water Pass. Other prominent geologic formations include the high plateau of Black Mesa and the distinctive gap known as Gunsight Notch. This 2011 survey documents a rugged and largely uninhabited landscape defined by its jagged peaks and the logistical corridors that cut through them.
