2014 Map of Quartzsite

About this map

Quartzsite serves as the central hub of this desert landscape, situated at the junction of major transit corridors that cross the La Posa Plain. The town's grid is characterized by descriptive street names like Ironwood St, Camel St, and Gold Nugget Rd, reflecting its identity as a waystation for travelers and prospectors. The terrain is defined by complex drainage networks, with the wide Plomosa Wash and Scaddan Wash carving through the arid flats, while Granite Mtn rises to the southwest. North of the main settlement, the land remains largely open, marked by landmarks such as Boyer Gap and the winding course of Italian Wash. This 2014 survey documents the modern layout of this desert community, including various trails like Sunrist Trl that lead away from the developed center into the surrounding Arizona backcountry.
