2018 Map of Vopoki Ridge

About this map

The Gila Mountains dominate the northeastern corner of this Yuma County landscape, rising sharply above the expansive arid lowlands. This survey illustrates the stark transition between the mountain massif and the surrounding flatlands, most notably at the Vopoki Ridge, which extends southeastward from the main range. Between these prominent elevations lies Spook Canyon, a natural drainage feature that cuts through the northern highland area. To the south and east, the terrain levels out into the Davis Plain, while the very southeastern edge of the map captures the northern tips of the Butler Mountains. The layout of the township and range lines, including t11s r20w and t12s r20w, reveals the systematic partitioning of this high-desert environment in the modern era.
