2021 Map of Point of the Pintas

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Sierra Pinta range dominates this landscape in Yuma County, characterized by a series of dramatic mountain peaks and canyons that overlook the arid Tule Desert. This 2021 topographic record reveals a terrain defined by its drainage patterns and verticality, where the ephemeral Mohawk Wash threads northward through the Mohawk Valley. The landforms are distinctively named, including the prominent Point of the Pintas and the isolated Devil Hills to the west. This southwestern Arizona corridor shows minimal human infrastructure, emphasizing the natural topography of high desert passes like Bean Pass and deep cuts like What Fo Canyon. For those studying the Yuma desert, this map identifies the precise township and range boundaries across this sparsely settled corner of the state.
