About this map

The Sierra Estrella and Sevenmile Mountain dominate the northern landscape of this Pinal County region, where the Gila River Indian Reservation meets the rugged Palo Verde Mountains. The mid-century geography is defined by the east-west corridor of the Southern Pacific railroad and the parallel Maricopa Road, which connect the small settlements of Enid and Heaton.

Evidence of early desert development and industrial activity is scattered across the basins of Mobile Valley and Hidden Valley, including numerous prospects, oil tanks, and gas line valves. For local historians, the presence of a Race Track (Aban'd) and isolated structures like the Wiley Ranch or unnamed Ruins provides a specific look at the era's land use before later expansion. The map also documents the precise Indian Reservation Boundary and the shared border between Maricopa and Pinal counties.
