2018 Map of Salton Tanks

About this map

Castle Dome Mountains dominate the eastern landscape of this Yuma County region, where the arid environment is defined by its seasonal water sources and distinct landforms. The Salton Tanks and Dixon Spring provide critical watering points in an otherwise dry terrain carved by the winding course of Big Eye Wash. This 2018 survey illustrates a high-desert territory where topography is the primary feature, noted for geological landmarks such as the Natural Arch and the prominent height of Thumb Butte. The map provides a clear look at the township and range boundaries that organize this section of the Arizona desert, capturing the intersection of four major survey blocks including t5s r18w and t6s r17w.
