2014 Map of Wellton Mesa

About this map

Wellton serves as the primary hub in this desert landscape, situated south of the braided channels of the Gila River. The town and nearby small settlements of Asher and Noah are oriented along the historic corridor of Old US-80, reflecting a transportation network deeply tied to the valley floor. The terrain transitions from the low-lying agricultural flats into the prominent elevated plateau of Wellton Mesa, which dominates the central portion of the map. Rising above the desert floor, distinctive geological landmarks like Antelope Hill and Radar Hill provide vertical relief against the wide expanse of the Mohawk Valley. To the southeast, the jagged silhouettes of the Baker Peaks overlook the seasonal drainage of Coyote Wash, marking the rugged boundary of the survey area. The intricate web of county roads and irrigation-related routes, such as Mohawk Canal Rd, underscores the vital role of water management in this arid Yuma County region.
