2021 Map of Powerline Well

About this map

Cactus Plain dominates this arid landscape in eastern La Paz County, where modern infrastructure intersects with old desert tracks. The Central Arizona Project Aqueduct cuts a distinct line northwest to southeast through the basin, representing a massive engineering effort to move water across the desert floor. To the north, the terrain becomes more broken, marked by the access routes of Swansea Mine Rd and Swansea Rd, which lead toward historic mining districts outside the map's immediate bounds. The small settlement of Midway sits at the junction of Powerline Rd and Lincoln Ranch Rd, serving as a rare point of reference in this sparsely populated region. This survey captures the essential character of contemporary Arizona land management, where named landmarks like Powerline Well remain vital navigational markers for those traversing the basin.
