2018 Map of Nottbusch Butte

About this map

Nottbusch Butte rises as a prominent landmark above the arid expanse of the Palomas Plain in this 2018 survey of Yuma County. The terrain is defined by a series of isolated peaks and ridges, including the Clanton Hills and Deadman Mtn, which separate the flat basin from the rugged Gila Bend Mountains to the southeast. The landscape is marked by ephemeral drainage systems like Deadman Wash and Nottbusch Wash, illustrating the desert's hydrological patterns. Transport through this desolate region is limited to remote tracks such as Palomas Harquahala Rd and Arlington-Clanton Well Rd, which connect historical well sites and mining prospects across Nottbusch Valley and Apache Box. This map provides a clear record of the physical geography and sparse infrastructure in a region where the landforms dictate the few available routes.
