2011 Map of Raven Butte

About this map

Coyote Wash dominates this arid Yuma County landscape, winding northwest to southeast across a terrain defined by desert drainage patterns. In the southwestern portion of the quadrangle, the prominent elevation of Raven Butte rises above the surrounding flats, serving as a significant geographical anchor. Nearby, Raven Butte Tank suggests the critical importance of water management and catchment in this part of Arizona. The map illustrates a landscape largely shaped by natural features and ephemeral watercourses, with very little modern development or infrastructure recorded beyond the essential landmarks required for navigation and resource identification in a desert environment.
