2014 Map of Tule Mountains

About this map

Arizona's southwestern border landscape is defined here by the international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos. Within Yuma County, the land is dominated by the high relief of the Cabeza Prieta Mountains and the Tule Mountains, showcasing the isolation of the Sonoran desert terrain. Man-made water catchments such as Buckhorn Tank and Tule Tank are critical markers in this arid environment, indicating the historical importance of water management for travel and livestock in the region. The map captures a largely unpopulated wilderness, focused on the topographic intersection of these jagged mountain ranges and the diagonal line of the international border.
