1943 Map of Cocoraque Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The Papago Indian Reservation occupies the central and western reaches of this desert landscape, as it appeared during the early 1940s. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Cocoraque Butte, Recortado Mtn, and the Coyote Mountains, which overlook a network of seasonal drainages including Brawly Wash and Viopuli Wash. Human settlement in this arid environment is tied to the road network, particularly where the Tucson Ajo Highway meets the Sasabe Road. This junction is home to the small communities of Three Points and Robles Junction, supported by the Three Points Sch. Scattered throughout the flats and foothills are several historic homesteads and grazing sites such as Garcia Ranch, La Tortuga Ranch, and Viopuli, offering a detailed view of the ranching and Indigenous land use patterns that characterized Pima County before mid-century expansion.
