2021 Map of Palomas Mountains NW

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Tank Mountains dominate the southern portion of this desert landscape, characterized by complex topographical relief and high-elevation ridges that overlook the broad Palomas Plain to the north. This region of the Sonoran Desert is defined by its drainage patterns, most notably Hoodoo Wash, which meanders across the northern half of the sheet. The landscape is primarily undeveloped, showing the stark intersection between the high mountain peaks and the alluvial basins common in Yuma County. The sole major thoroughfare through this arid terrain is the Norton to Harquahala Rd, a route that connects distant desert outposts and provides passage through the otherwise impassable mountain and wash systems.
