1996 Map of Fortified Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

Fortified Peak rises as the central landmark of this Pinal County landscape, which transitions between dry washes and high divides in the 1990s. The northern reaches show signs of mineral interest near Bloodsucker Wash, where the Ardmore Mine is surrounded by adits, prospects, and a mine shaft. This industrial footprint contrasts with the ranching infrastructure found throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by a vast network of water catchments like Tipperary Tank, Big Bertha Tank, and Wild Cow Tank. The reliance on these tanks and wells, such as Browns Well, speaks to the arid character of the Falcon Divide Valley. Isolated habitations like The Big House and Rock House provide rare fixed points of settlement, while a landing strip near the eastern margin suggests the necessity of aerial access in this desert terrain.
