2014 Map of Quail Spring Wash

About this map

The Gila Bend Mountains dominate this arid landscape in southwestern Maricopa County, characterized by a complex network of seasonal drainages that define the local topography. The small settlement of Saddle serves as a lone hub of activity, situated near the intersection of W Saddle Rd and S Poco Dinero Rd. The map meticulously records the natural drainage system of the desert floor, featuring the convergence of Quail Spring Wash, Fourth of July Wash, and Yellow Medicine Wash. These desert arroyos, including Loudermilk Wash and Woolsey Wash, are critical markers for understanding the historical hydrology and movement across this portion of the Arizona desert. The inclusion of cadastral boundaries like t3s r8w and t2s r7w provides essential reference points for land ownership and historical survey research in this remote terrain.
