About this map

Arizona Highway Department Oil Storage Tanks sit along a remote highway stretch in this arid section of Pinal County, where the landscape is defined by drainage washes and livestock water management. The terrain is structured around Magma Wash and the winding Cottonwood Creek, which cuts through Cottonwood Canyon in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. High points like Black Hill and Dozer Hill rise above a network of utility and access corridors, including Gas Line Rd and Mineral Mountain Rd. A distinctive pattern of cattle tanks, such as Mormon Tank, Superior Tank, and El Molino Tank, reveals how this desert environment was utilized for ranching, with these small water features serving as essential landmarks in a largely unpopulated territory.
