2021 Map of Palo Verde Peak

About this map

Palo Verde Peak anchors the arid landscape of Imperial County, rising above the surrounding Palo Verde Mountains and the expansive Smoketree Valley. The hydrological network is dominated by the broad, sandy stretch of Milpitas Wash, which winds through the southern portion of the territory. Transportation through this remote desert region is defined by unpaved routes like Milpitas Wash Rd and Walters Camp Rd, which follow natural landforms and township boundaries. The terrain north of the peaks transitions into the plateau-like Flat Tops, illustrating the complex geological formations characteristic of the Colorado Desert. The map's layout, organized by various Public Land Survey System townships including t10s r21e and t9s r20e, reflects the systematic grid used to manage these vast, undeveloped public lands.
