1964 Map of Agua Dulce Mts

About this map

Cabeza Prieta Game Range and the Luke Air Force Range dominate this desert landscape along the Arizona-Sonora border in Pima County. The map provides a detailed view of the arid Growler Valley, framed by the Growler Range and the Agua Dulce Mountains. Evidence of early exploration and desert survival is visible through the mapping of remote water sources like Agua Dulce Spring, Redtail Tank, and Pozo Nuevo Well. Local industry and temporary habitation are noted at the Bell Mine and Palo Verde Camp, while the eastern edge of the quadrangle marks the boundary of the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. A network of Jeep Trails connects these isolated points, tracing a path through named landmarks such as Chinaman Flat and Agua Dulce Pass during a period of managed conservation and military oversight.
