2014 Map of Raven Butte

About this map

Coyote Wash carves a winding path through the arid expanse of Yuma County, defining the drainage patterns of this southwestern desert landscape. The terrain is dominated by the stark elevations of the Tinajas Altas Mountains in the south and the Copper Mountains in the northeast, which border the open stretches of the Lechuguilla Desert. This 2014 survey documents a region defined by its topography rather than settlement, where water management is highlighted by the isolated Raven Butte Tank near the prominent Raven Butte. The map provides a clear record of the Township and Range boundaries, such as t11s r18w and t12s r17w, which organize this largely undeveloped public land. It serves as a vital reference for understanding the physical geography and hydrological markers of the Arizona borderlands.
