About this map

Vicksburg sits at the northern edge of the Ranegras Plain, where local roads like McVay Rd and Vicksburg Rd intersect the desert landscape of La Paz County. This 2021 survey documents a contemporary view of the region, defined by its massive water infrastructure and remote desert settlements. The Central Arizona Project Aqueduct cuts a prominent path across the northeast, a critical lifeline through an arid environment shaped by several seasonal drainages, including Bouse Wash, Calcite Wash, and Granite Wash.

Genealogists and local historians will find the location of the Vicksburg Cem and the small residential clusters at Vicksburg Junction and Desert Wells. These settlements, while sparse, highlight the enduring nature of these outposts. The presença of Bush Pit to the north suggests ongoing resource extraction, while the grid-like road network, including 63rd St and 60th St N, shows how modern development attempts to organize the expansive desert floor.
