About this map

The Plomosa Mountains and Posa Plain anchor this mid-century survey of the Arizona desert, revealing a landscape defined by mining history and early travel routes. The settlement of Quartzsite serves as the primary hub, where the Hi Jolly Monument and Cem reflect the area’s unique cultural heritage. To the east of town, the remains of Old Fort Tyson stand near the Tyson Wash, highlighting the strategic importance of water and shelter in this arid region.
