1990 Map of Charlie Died Tank

About this map

Kofa National Wildlife Refuge dominates this desert landscape, preserving a vast expanse of the Sonoran Desert as it appeared in the late 20th century. The terrain is sharply divided between the jagged peaks of the Kofa Mountains in the northeast and the wide, sloping basin of King Valley that sweeps across the southwest. Water sources in this arid environment are critical and sparse, marked by features such as Charlie Died Tank, which serves as a vital point for wildlife and a landmark for those navigating the backcountry. A solitary Trail is the primary evidence of human passage through the central valley, underscoring the remote and protected nature of this wilderness area during the 1990 provisional mapping.
