2018 Map of South of Quartzsite

About this map

Quartzsite anchors the northern edge of this arid landscape, where the southern reaches of the community give way to the expansive La Posa Plain. The area is defined by a network of desert routes and historical transit corridors, most notably Old Yuma Rd and the long diagonal of Pipeline Rd. These roads segment the terrain as it transitions from the low-lying La Paz Valley toward the more elevated topography of the Livingston Hills in the southeast corner. The ephemeral drainage of French Cr winds through the center of the sheet, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of this Sonoran Desert environment. The map details the transition from residential desert living along N 53rd St and Century Dr into the open public lands that define the region's character.
