About this map

Barkerville serves as a central point in this high-desert landscape, where a network of ranching roads and dry washes defines the geography of Pinal County. The map details a series of family-named ranching sites, including Haydon Ranch, Rabbit Ranch, and Inglish Ranch, reflecting the enduring cattle-grazing heritage of the region. Natural landmarks such as Black Mountain and Jerky Butte rise above the surrounding terrain, while the drainage system is intricately mapped through features like Bloodsucker Wash, Cottonwood Wash, and Lambing Camp Wash.

Modern infrastructure, including a prominent Power Line and roads like Barkerville Rd and Willow Springs Rd, cuts across the open spaces of Haystack Valley. Unique local identifiers such as N Loading Chute and Double Tanks provide tangible evidence of livestock management and water conservation efforts in this arid environment, making it a valuable resource for understanding land use and homesteading patterns.
