1990 Map of Aguila Mountains SW

About this map

Barry M Goldwater Air Force Range dominates this desert landscape, where military restricted airspace overlies the arid floor of the San Cristobal Valley. This 1990 provisional edition, compiled from decades of aerial photography, captures a region defined by ephemeral drainage patterns and wind-blown geology. Drainage from the surrounding mountains carves deep channels through the terrain, most notably along San Cristobal Wash and Growler Wash, which converge as they snake across the valley floor. The presence of Sand Dunes in the northwest corner highlights the active environmental shifts in this protected military corridor. While largely devoid of permanent civilian settlements, the map provides precise section lines and benchmarks that are essential for understanding the administrative boundaries of this vast Arizona range.
