1996 Map of Ajo North

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

Industrial and desert landscapes intersect in this Arizona survey, where the Valley of the Ajo meets the prominent Batamote Mountains. The map reveals the heavy industrial footprint of copper mining operations south of the Barry M Goldwater Air Force Range, specifically through the massive containment structures of the North Dam, East Dam, and South Dam. These dams hold the extensive Tailings Pond complex that dominates the southern terrain. Nearby, the communities of Ajo and Gibson sit adjacent to these works, providing a look at the residential life of a mining town, complete with an Athletic Field and a Drive-in Theater. To the north, the landscape transitions back to the Sonoran Desert, drained by the Tenmile Wash and Sikort Chuapo Wash, and dotted with ranching outposts like Childs Ranch and Batamote Well.
