About this map

The Papago Indian Reservation dominates this 1941 landscape, showcasing a complex network of traditional settlements and ranching outposts in Pima County. Small communities like Gu Chuapo and Ali Molina are connected by the Foothill Truck Trail, reflecting the desert-adapted settlement patterns of the era. The presence of the Fresnal Canyon Sch and the Allison Mine underscores a self-sufficient local economy driven by both education and resource extraction.

Rising sharply from the Alambre Valley, the Baboquivari Mountains reach their zenith at Baboquivari Peak, a landmark flanked by several family-named ranch holdings such as Otero Ranch and Chiltepines Ranch. The map also identifies Indian Ruins near the San Juan Wash, providing a clear link to the deep ancestral history of the region. This survey serves as a vital record for genealogists tracing families associated with Allison Camp or the various remote canyons and springs throughout the Quinlan Mountains.
