2018 Map of Palomas Mountains SW

About this map

The Palomas Mountains anchor the southeastern corner of this arid landscape in Yuma County. The terrain is defined by complex contour elevations that transition from the higher peaks in the south toward the broader flats to the northwest. A primary transportation artery, the Norton To Harquahala Rd, cuts across the northern half of the quadrangle, representing a vital historic desert crossing. This 2018 survey detail provides a clear look at the public land survey system grid, spanning several townships including t3s r14w and t5s r14w. The map emphasizes the isolation and topography of the region, where infrastructure is minimal and the natural landforms dictate the passage through this corner of the Arizona desert.
