2021 Map of Palomas Mountains NE

About this map

Palomas Plain dominates the central portion of this 2021 topographic survey, representing a significant expanse of desert floor in Yuma County. The drainage patterns of the region are defined by the winding paths of Red Raven Wash and Hoodoo Wash, which cut through the arid landscape from the north and west. These intermittent watercourses suggest a terrain shaped by seasonal desert runoff, with the terrain rising toward the southwest corner of the quadrangle. In this area, Flat Top Butte stands as a distinct topographic marker amidst the surrounding desert flats. The map provides a look at the modern land partitioning under the Public Land Survey System, specifically marking the boundaries of t2s r13w, t2s r12w, t3s r13w, and t3s r12w. This detailed mapping of the desert interior illustrates the isolation of the western Arizona desert, where few permanent structures exist beyond the natural landmarks and surveyed township lines.
