About this map

The Arizona Sonora border defines this desert landscape, where the international boundary cuts a sharp diagonal through the arid terrain of the Cabeza Prieta Desert. The topographic detail highlights the dramatic rise of the Sierra Tinajas Altas and the Sierra de la Lechuguilla, showcasing the steep elevation changes that characterize the borderlands. To the north, the Barry M Goldwater Air Force Range and the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge indicate a region dedicated to both military use and environmental conservation. South of the border, the terrain transitions into the Desierto de Altar and the Sierra de los Alacranes. This map illustrates the intersection of national boundaries and protected wilderness areas, providing a clear view of the Cabeza Prieta Wilderness and its relationship to the surrounding desert reaches.
