2011 Map of Salton Tanks

About this map

Big Eye Wash meanders across this arid landscape in Yuma County, marking the primary drainage system for this desert region. In a territory where water sources are vital, Dixon Spring and the Salton Tanks stand out as critical hydrological features for both early travel and local survival. The map also identifies the lone settlement of Green Cabin in the western portion of the quadrangle. The sparse distribution of named points suggests a landscape defined more by natural terrain and ephemeral watercourses than by intensive development, reflecting the enduringly remote character of this part of Arizona.
