2015 Map of Superstition Mountain

About this map

Superstition Mtn rises as a prominent topographic anchor in this desert landscape, surrounded by the wide expanse of the West Mesa and the western edge of the Imperial Valley. This 2015 topographic record by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a stark terrain defined by contour gradients and a minimal network of desert roads, including Imler Rd and Wheeler Rd. The lack of dense settlement emphasizes the isolation of this corner of Imperial County, California, where the environment is shaped by the Public Land Survey System grids, such as t14s r11e and t15s r12e. Researchers of this arid region can observe the precise land divisions and elevation changes that define the mountain's structure against the surrounding flatlands.
