Valley and range sequence-Southern Yuma County

The Valley and range sequence-Southern Yuma County is a 3-Valley sequence of NW–by–SE trending block faulted valleys and mountains. About eleven major mountain ranges connect to each other in four, (mostly parallel), mountain sequences.

This regional parallel valley-mountain sequence ends at the Gila River valley at the north; to the south, it extends to the Gran Desierto de Altar of northwestern Mexico; the sequence is a remnant of the Basin and Range system.

List of valleys

  • Coyote Wash and Lechuguilla Desert
  • Mohawk Valley (Arizona)
  • San Cristobal Valley
  • Table of mountain ranges

    The three valleys lay mostly between these perimeter mountain sequences.
