The Imperial Hills TMP area boundaries are from Hidden Shores RV Park on the south, the community of Martinez Lake on the north, Yuma Proving Ground on the east with the Colorado River marking the western boundary.

Travel management is a comprehensive approach to the administration of travel and transportation networks of roads, primitive routes, trails, and areas. This planning includes the inventory and mapping, route designations, and other measures necessary for providing access to and across public lands for a variety of uses.
