2011 Map of Nottbusch Butte

About this map

Cemetery Ridge and Nottbusch Butte dominate this section of the Arizona desert, where dry watercourses define the movement of water and livestock. The landscape is marked by the expansive Nottbusch Valley and the southern reaches of the Gila Bend Mountains, illustrating a classic southwestern basin and range topography. Arid land management is evidenced by features like Road Tank, while the hydrological network is centered on the braided channels of Deadman Wash and Nottbusch Wash. Historical travel through this corner of Yuma County is dictated by the passage between the Clanton Hills and Clanton Hill, with routes such as Palomas Harquahala Rd and Arlington-Clanton Well Rd following the natural contours of the desert floor.
