Lechuguilla Desert

It is considered to be part of the Lower Colorado Valley region of the Sonoran Desert.

[1] The desert is also on the north border of the Gran Desierto de Altar of Sonora, Mexico.

The Lechuguilla Desert lies to the east-northeast of the connected ranges, Gila Mountains, and north of the Tinajas Altas Mountains, which extend southeast into north Sonora.

To the west and southwest of the two ranges lies the Yuma Desert.

The Tule Desert (Arizona) lies east of the Lechuguilla, and the Cabeza Prieta Mountains; all three deserts are at the northwest perimeter of the great desert, the Gran Desierto de Altar, and the Pinacate Peaks volcanic field region.
