1996 Map of Chief Butte

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

The Suizo Mountains dominate the western horizon of this desert landscape in Pinal County, where a network of ephemeral washes like Suizo Wash and Coronado Wash dictate the flow of the terrain. The map captures a region defined by scattered resource extraction and water management, featuring several industrial landmarks including the Bogard Open Pit Mine in the north and the Big Mine near the southern boundary. Pockets of activity are found at Sampson Well and Lopez Wells, while high-tension power lines and pipelines cross the arid expanse. This survey reflects the mid-to-late 20th-century character of the Arizona desert, where prominent landmarks such as Chief Butte and Antelope Peak served as vital navigational points for surveyors and travelers alike. Remote 4WD tracks and the presence of numerous water tanks suggest a landscape primarily utilized for mining and livestock, relatively undisturbed by major residential development.
