2011 Map of Palm Canyon

About this map

Stagecoach Pass serves as a historical gateway through the high ridges of the Kofa Mountains in Yuma County. This modern survey illustrates a landscape dominated by dramatic vertical relief, where isolated peaks like Signal Peak, Squaw Peak, and Summit Peak overlook a complex system of drainage and erosion. The presence of Squaw Tanks and Hoodoo Wash highlights the importance of ephemeral water sources and natural catchment basins in this arid environment. The map details numerous named canyons including Palm Canyon, Ten Ewe Canyon, and Big Dick Canyon, which carve through the volcanic formations. For the historian or researcher, the preservation of names like Old Smokey Mountain and Old Palm Canyon provides continuity between older trail systems and current geographic records.
