About this map

Stone Cabin stands as a lonely outpost at the intersection of King Road and an unimproved desert track in this 1990 survey of Yuma County. This arid landscape is dominated by the steep, jagged reaches of the Castle Dome Mountains and the sprawling protected lands of the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge. The map reveals a world where survival depends on seasonal water sources and specific geological features, from the Hidden Valley Tanks to a distinctive Natural Arch found among the peaks.

Resource extraction and backcountry navigation are documented through scattered Prospects, a Mine Shaft, and early infrastructure including a Pipeline and Transmission Line. Broad alluvial fans like King Valley and dry drainage systems such as Tyson Wash define the terrain, while the presence of a Check Dam and several labeled Guzzlers indicate human efforts to manage water for desert wildlife and transit.
