About this map

Javelina Mountain and the Maricopa Mts dominate this arid landscape in the late 1970s, a region defined by water scarcity and military presence. The southern portion of the map is occupied by the Luke Air Force Range, where numerous prospects and the Papago Indian Chief Mine indicate a history of mineral exploration. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by features like Caesar Tank and various wells, including Sand Tank Well and several dry sites such as Raleigh Well (Dry). The drainage patterns of Bender Wash and Sand Tank Wash provide a natural structure to the desert terrain, while distinctive landmarks like Squaw Tits and Maricopa Peak offer clear navigational points across the open topography.
