1990 Map of Paradise Canyon

About this map

Camino Del Diablo traces a historic route through this arid international borderland, crossing the rugged terrain between Sierra Pinta and the Pinacate Valley. The map details a complex landscape where the Tule Desert meets the distinct Pinta Sands, marked by significant geological features like Lava flows and the dry basin of Pinta Playa. This 1990 provisional edition, published by the U.S. Geological Survey, illustrates the intersection of conservation and military use, as the Cabeza Prieta Wilderness and National Wildlife Refuge overlaps with the Barry M Goldwater Air Force Range. The international boundary between the United States of America and Mexico is clearly delineated, showing the relationship between Yuma County and the Mexican Desierto De Altar.
