1979 Map of Fresno Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Fresno Wash and Altar Wash dominate this arid Pima County landscape, where water management is the primary driver of human settlement. The map documents an intricate network of ranching infrastructure, including San Rafael Well, El Cazador Ranch, and the Pozo Nuevo Ranch. These outposts are supported by a vast array of named water features and catchments such as North Tank, Lilly Tank, and Pajonal Tank. The presence of the Landing Strip and Batamote Road indicates the importance of transportation and access in this desert environment. Notable terrain features like Cerro Prieto stand out against the drainage patterns of Chiltepines Wash and Brown Wash, illustrating how the natural topography dictated the placement of early 20th-century range improvements and desert habitation.
