2021 Map of Black Mountain

About this map

Barkerville and Oak Wells sit within a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage systems in Pinal County. The topography is dominated by the Tortilla Mountains in the northeast and the prominent height of Black Mtn to the south. This modern survey illustrates how traditional ranching and naming conventions persist through labels like Double Tanks and Star Flat. The drainage patterns, ranging from the widely branching Cottonwood Wash to the uniquely named Bloodsucker Wash, dictate the historical and modern movement through this arid region. For those tracking outdoor recreation and modern land use, the Arizona National Scenic Trl cuts across the northeastern corner, while local routes like Willow Springs Rd and N Barkerville Rd provide the primary access to these remote desert settlements.
