1979 Map of Baboquivari Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Baboquivari Peak serves as the dominant landmark of this high-desert landscape in the Baboquivari Mountains, a region defined by sharp vertical relief and essential water sources within the Papago Indian Reservation. The 1970s land use pattern is characterized by remote outposts such as Redondo Ranch and Elkhorn Ranch, connected by a network of seasonal washes like Redondo Wash and Sabino Wash. These ranches and several ruins indicate the persistent human effort to maintain a presence in the arid terrain, relying on scattered reliable points like Baboquivari Spring, Sycamore Spring, and Broken Trough Spring. The presence of various prospects scattered through Fresnal Canyon and Contreras Canyon points to the area's history of mineral exploration alongside its long-standing ranching traditions.
