1990 Map of Burnt Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Burnt Mountain stands as the central landmark of this arid landscape in Maricopa County, anchoring the southeastern reach of the Big Horn Mountains. The 1990 data captures a period of significant water infrastructure development, dominated by the sweeping curve of the Granite Reef Aqueduct as it cuts across the terrain between the Harquahala Plain to the west and the Tonopah Desert to the east. This engineering marvel is flanked by a series of levees and access roads that stand in contrast to the natural topography. Evidence of human utility and transit is found throughout the desert floor, including a Radio Tower, a highway Rest Area, and the isolated Hummingbird Spring. The map documents a sparsely settled but highly modified environment where modern utilities like the Trans Line and various 4wd tracks intersect with the traditional landmarks of the Arizona desert.
