About this map

Papago Indian Reservation territory is meticulously detailed in this 1990 provisional study, centered on the mineral-rich elevations of the Quijotoa Mountains. The landscape is dominated by mining history, with numerous excavations such as the Quijotoa Mine, Weldon Mine, and Ben Lomond Mines concentrated along the slopes of Ben Nevis Mountain. These sites, along with various mine shafts and prospects, indicate a region defined by its geological extraction efforts during the late 20th century.

Residential and transit points are sparse, noted primarily by Plato Vaya and the nearby Plato Vaya Pass. The arid nature of the terrain is highlighted by the presence of the San Antone Well, marked as dry at the time of the survey. From the broad Quijotoa Valley to the prominent Black Butte, the map records a specific intersection of indigenous land management and historical mining activity in the Arizona desert.
