About this map

The Peloncillo Mountains dominate the northeastern horizon of this arid landscape, where water management is defined by a network of catchments and washes. Numerous tanks, including Tollgate Tank, Topaz Tank, and Heber Tank, serve as vital collection points for the drainage systems of Yuma Wash and San Jose Wash. This intricate hydrological network is underscored by the presence of the Yuma Wash Reservoir, illustrating the critical role of water storage in this Graham County terrain.

Infrastructure in this region follows the natural contours of the land, with S US Highway 191 cutting diagonally across the desert floor. Historical travel routes are preserved in labels like E Old Highway 70, while the northern canyons such as Yellowstone Canyon and Deadman Canyon suggest a more dissected and complex topography. Local landmarks like the Twin Knolls and Circle Tanks provide clear orientation points within the expansive grid of the Public Land Survey System.
