About this map

The Durham Hills and the northern reaches of the Suizo Mountains dominate this Pinal County landscape, defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems. Water management is central to the land's utility, marked by scattered infrastructure such as the Mesa Tank, Gas Line Tank, and Copper Mine Tank. These catchments support the local ranching economy, which is further evidenced by roads like E Cross Triangle Ranch Rd and S Owl Head Ranch RD.

Transport and utility corridors cut through the desert terrain, including the Pinal Pioneer Pkwy and a series of major washes like Bogard Wash, Durham Wash, and Coronado Wash. A striking solitary landmark, The Huerfano, stands apart in the lower central portion of the survey, serving as a distinct navigational point. This map illustrates the intersection of natural alluvial patterns and the infrastructure required for contemporary habitation and ranching in the Arizona desert.
