About this map

The Great Colorado Valley occupies a vast expanse of this La Paz County landscape, defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems. These arid watercourses, including Weaver Wash, Trigo Wash, and Petes Wash, slice through the basin floor between significant mountain ranges. To the northeast, the Dome Rock Mountains rise sharply, while the southern reaches of the map are dominated by the Trigo Mountains and the distinct summits of North Trigo Peaks and South Trigo Peaks.

Surface travel in this remote desert environment is limited to historical thoroughfares like the Ehrenberg-Cibola Rd and Cibola Rd. These routes provide the primary access through the valley, tracing a path across the varied alluvial fans of Mohave Wash and Mule Wash. The map reflects a landscape where the topography dictates the movement of both water and people, centered around the rugged elevations of the Trigo range.
