2014 Map of Sierra Arida
USGS Topo · Published 2014About this map
The United States of America Estados Unidos Mexicanos international border bisects this arid landscape, cutting a straight line through the rugged terrain of Yuma Co, Arizona. The survey reveals a region defined by water scarcity and dramatic topography, where the jagged peaks of the Sierra Arida and the Cabeza Prieta Mountains tower over the Tule Desert. Essential water sources, marked as Sinita Tank and Tuseral Tank, are critical landmarks in this desert environment. The drainage pattern of the Tule Wash and the southern reaches of the Tule Mountains further characterize this frontier zone, illustrating the geographical isolation and the stark boundary between the two nations as it appeared in the early 2010s.
