  • . The Cargo Muchacho Mountains are now crisscrossed with modern mining claims.
  • . Picacho Peak is a 1500-foot high volcanic outcrop which dominates the southernmost end of the Chocolate Mountains.
  • . Encompassing the southern portion of the Chocolate Mountains, the Little Picacho Peak Wilderness contains approximately 33, 600 acres.
  • . MUGGINS MOUNTAINS WILDERNESS Rugged peaks, rolling hills, and wash drainages are typical in this wilderness.



    Rising Tide by Richard Pourade
  • . Anchored in a red canyon of the Whipple Mountains, it was called the deepest dam in the world.
  • . Even before the water could begin its journey it had to be lifted from the lake to be formed behind Parker Dam and taken up the side of the Whipple Mountains, in order to provide for a gravity flow until the next hilly barrier was reached.
  • . Then at an elevation of more than a thousand feet, it entered another tunnel and emerged on the other side of the mountains, to flow sixty miles through siphons and open canals in a barren and arid country.
  • . A dozen miles beyond rose the Coxcomb Mountains, which in the brightness of the day look as if they had been scorched by a flame from the sun.
  • . In the next thirty-five miles the water had to be lifted twice in the Eagle Mountains.
  • . The aqueduct was now nearing the most historic pass of Southern California, San Gorgonio, lying between the San Bernardino Mountains to the northeast and the San Jacinto Mountains to the southwest.

  • . FTHL range in Arizona generally is described as bounded by the Colorado River to the west, Gila River to the north, and Gila and Tinajas Altas Mountains to the east with the U.S.
  • . The eastern portion of the range is ultimately bounded by the Gila and Tinajas Altas Mountains, but the extent of suitable habitat stops west of these mountain ranges.
  • . The Mohave series is newer alluvial material derived from the Gila Mountains.
  • . Whitlock soils have mixed origins, some originate from the Gila Mountains and some from the Colorado River terraces, others are highly mixed, for example, Whitlock gravelly sandy loam occurs in a transitional area and contains deposits from both the Gila Mountains and Colorado.
  • . The northern sections of the road correspond to soils containing deposits from the Gila Mountains.
  • . - Mexico boundary road and the Camino del Diablo, a road adjacent to the Gila and Tinajas Altas Mountains.
  • . Yuha Basin habitat ends at the Sierra Juarez and Coyote Mountains.

  • . On the eastern edge of the dunes, runoff from the nearby Cargo Muchacho and Chocolate Mountains creates a lush woodland of palo verde, ironwood and desert willow.
