2011 Map of Vopoki Ridge

About this map

Vopoki Ridge dominates the eastern horizon of this arid landscape in Yuma County, marking a stark topographical boundary at the edge of the Davis Plain. The terrain is defined by a network of ephemeral washes and drainage patterns typical of the Sonoran Desert, where water management is highlighted by the presence of Spook Tank in the northern sector. This catchment serves the local area, likely for livestock or wildlife, as it sits near the mouth of Spook Canyon. The map reveals a largely undeveloped expanse, emphasizing the subtle geographic shifts between low-lying plains and the rising rocky outcrops of the ridge, offering a detailed view of the natural hydrology and elevation before any modern large-scale infrastructure or settlement reached this particular corner of the desert.
