2014 Map of New Water Mountains

About this map

The New Water Mountains and Plomosa Mountains dominate this arid portion of La Paz County, forming a complex network of ridges and basins characterized by prominent landmarks like Black Mesa and The Eagles Eye. Travel through the region is defined by natural corridors such as the New Water Pass, a significant transit point through the high ground. The map details the scattered water management features essential for this environment, including Hidden Tank, East Tank, and the catchment at Charco Three. To the east, the dramatic narrowness of Gunsight Notch and the symmetry of Twin Peaks serve as distinct visual markers. These features illustrate the geographic isolation and specialized land use common in the Arizona desert, where named peaks and water tanks provide the primary orientation for navigation and land management.
