About this map

Aguila Valley dominates the southern landscape of this mid-century Yavapai County survey, illustrating the critical role of water management in the arid Arizona interior. The terrain is defined by a series of engineered water catchments such as Fogle Tank, TK Tank, and Rincon Tank, which suggest the area's importance for cattle ranching. A notable concentration of infrastructure appears in the east near Ritter Dam and Ritter Tank, while the northwestern corner is accessed by a lone Jeep Trail winding through the elevations. Evidence of early land use and resource extraction is found in several Borrow Pits and a Prospect located in the southwestern quadrant. This map serves as a detailed record of the desert's modified hydrology before modern expansion, capturing the placement of family-named landmarks like Little Pemberton Tank and Bullard Wash.
