1980 Map of Tinajas Altas Mts

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The United States Mexico border defines the southern extent of this 1980 survey, where the arid landscape of Yuma Co is dominated by the Luke Air Force Range. This vast military reservation encompasses the Tinajas Altas Mountains and the Gila Mountains, terrain characterized by dramatic elevation changes such as Vopoki Ridge and Raven Butte. The map illustrates the harsh geometry of the Yuma Desert and Lechuguilla Desert, split by the Butler Mountains. Human activity is sparse but notable, with a Jeep Trail winding through the remote sectors and the San Luis Landing Field positioned near the international boundary. Geologic and industrial interests are represented by the Smith Mine, while natural landmarks like the shifting Sand Dunes and the drainage of Coyote Wash highlight the dynamic nature of this southwestern environment.
