2011 Map of Fresno Wash

About this map

Altar Wash and Fresno Wash dominate this arid landscape in Pima County, Arizona, where a complex network of seasonal drainages defines the movement across the desert. These washes, including Chiltepines Wash and Brown Wash, are punctuated by water management features essential for cattle operations in the region. The presence of El Cazador Ranch and Pozo Nuevo Ranch suggests a landscape of active ranching, supported by numerous catchments like Pozo Nuevo Tank, Pajonal Tank, and Lilly Tank. The transportation network is built around local cattle routes, with El Khorn Ranch Rd and Las Delicias Ranch Rd providing access through the alluvial plains. This survey captures the infrastructure of the American Southwest's grazing lands, showing the locations of tanks and named canyons like Sabino Canyon that served as critical points for local livestock management during the early twenty-first century.
