2018 Map of Yellow Medicine Butte

About this map

Sundad sits along the Agua Caliente Rd in this 2018 study of Maricopa County’s desert interior. The terrain is defined by the sharp elevations of the Gila Bend Mountains, featuring distinct peaks such as Yellow Medicine Butte in the north and Face Mtn to the south. Between these rises, the landscape is carved by drainage systems including Yellow Medicine Wash and Loudermilk Wash, which illustrate the complex watershed of this arid region. The presence of Montezuma Head serves as a prominent landmark for those navigating the routes through the township and range divisions. This topographical survey captures the area's geological character and the isolation of its small settlements, providing a clear view of the natural and man-made features that shape this portion of the Arizona desert.
