2014 Map of Palomas Mountains SE

About this map

Palomas Mountains anchor the southern reaches of this arid landscape in Yuma County, defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainage patterns. The most prominent of these is Hoodoo Wash, which threads northward through the eastern sections of the quadrangle. This 2014 survey captures a largely undeveloped desert expanse, where the natural topography dictates the few signs of human transit. The presence of E Co 13th St N at the southern and eastern margins highlights the grid-based road system that skirts the foothills. This map is particularly useful for understanding the hydrologic features and contour variations within the Palomas Mountains during the early 21st century, illustrating how water and relief shape the Sonoran Desert environment.
