The Black Hills dominate the central landscape of this Yuma County quadrangle, situated just east of the Castle Dome Mountains. This arid region of southwestern Arizona is defined by dramatic elevation changes, captured through 20-foot contour intervals that trace the steep desert ridges and alluvial fans. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by Wellton Kofa Rd bisecting the terrain as it moves north through the valley. This 2014 survey documents the vital water infrastructure necessary for desert survival and livestock, specifically the presence of Norton Tank on the eastern edge of the survey area. The map highlights the intersection of several townships, including t5s r17w and t6s r16w, providing a precise look at the land division in this remote stretch of the Sonoran desert during the early twenty-first century.
