2014 Map of South of Sentinel

About this map

Tenmile Wash winds diagonally across this desert landscape in the Sonoran region of southern Arizona, marking the drainage patterns of a largely undeveloped expanse. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the volcanic forms of the Crater Range, where the terrain rises sharply from the basin floor. This 2014 survey documents the area's public land survey system divisions across t9s r9w and surrounding townships, illustrating the precise grid overlaying the natural topography. The map detail highlights the relationship between the ephemeral watercourses and the stark elevation changes of the mountain range, providing a record of the remote Maricopa County interior before any significant modern encroachment.
