1966 Map of Florence NE

About this map

The Magma Arizona corridor and a network of water management features dominate this desert landscape northeast of Florence during the mid-1960s. The terrain is defined by its arid functionality, featuring an array of livestock or industrial watering points such as Mormon Tank, El Molino Tank, and Superior Tank. Human activity is marked by infrastructure like a Landing Strip and multiple wells, including Desert Well No 1 and Desert Well No 2, which supported the region's ranching or mineral interests. To the east, the topography shifts into the more complex elevations of Cottonwood Canyon, while localized rises like Black Hill and Dozer Hill punctuate the western flats. A prominent Pipeline and various Jeep Trail routes provide a clear record of 20th-century utility and access through this Pinal County territory.
