2018 Map of Fortified Peak

About this map

Fortified Peak stands as the central landmark in this Pinal County landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of desert drainages and livestock water infrastructure. In the late 2010s, the area shows a distinct pattern of land use where rugged terrain features like Suffering Gulch and Falcon Divide are navigated via modern paths such as His/Hers Trail and Bones Trail. The settlement at Falcon Valley lies to the southeast, while the surrounding desert is punctuated by essential water catchments, including Tipperary Tank, Coronado Tank, and Wild Cow Tank. This map also captures the path of energy infrastructure through the desert, marked by the Gasline and its Gasline Bypass. Regional water flow is illustrated by significant drainages such as Bloodsucker Wash and Chirreones Arroyo, reflecting the arid geography of the Santa Cruz Valley periphery.
