1996 Map of Point of the Pintas

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

Sierra Pinta and the Mohawk Valley anchor this landscape, reflecting a region defined by arid isolation and federal land management. This portion of Yuma County is characterized by the intersection of military and conservation interests, where the Barry M Goldwater Air Force Range meets the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge. The terrain is a mix of alluvial plains like the Tule Desert and sharp rises such as the Devil Hills. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by resource extraction and desert survival, evidenced by a Mine Shaft, a Prospect, and a Well (Dry) located near the Mohawk Wash. The distinctive Point of the Pintas serves as a prominent landmark along the boundary of the Cabeza Prieta Wilderness, illustrating the transition from open range to protected desert interior.
