2018 Map of Tule Mountains

About this map

The United States of America Estados Unidos Mexicanos international border cuts diagonally across this desert landscape, separating the rugged Yuma County terrain from Sonora. The topography is dominated by the steep rises of the Cabeza Prieta Mountains in the north and the Tule Mountains to the south. In an environment defined by extreme aridity, the presence of specific water collection points like Buckhorn Tank and Tule Tank underscores the critical importance of these features for survival and navigation in the borderlands. This 2018 survey detail provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid, including township markers such as t13s r15w and t14s r15w, which frame the isolated mountain passes and seasonal drainage patterns typical of the Sonoran Desert.
