1990 Map of East Pass

About this map

The Barry M Goldwater Air Force Range dominates the central portion of this desert landscape, where military management overlaps with significant conservation efforts. To the south, the Cabeza Prieta Wilderness and National Wildlife Refuge marks a preserved arid ecosystem. This 1990 survey provides a detailed view of the rugged topography, including the Crater Range in the north and the Growler Mountains to the southwest. Between these heights lies Childs Valley, a wide drainage plain carved by Tenmile Wash. This era shows a landscape focused on resource management and preservation, with isolated features like a Corral and Water Tank Well suggesting the remnants of ranching activity within the larger protected areas of Pima and Maricopa counties.
