1996 Map of Granite Mountains North

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

The Granite Mountains dominate this arid landscape, serving as a prominent north-south spine within the vast Barry M Goldwater Air Force Range. This 1996 survey illustrates the intersection of military and conservation land use, showing where the range meets the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes between the jagged peaks and the broad, alluvial plains of Growler Valley to the east and San Cristobal Valley to the west. Evidence of ephemeral water systems is visible through the winding paths of Growler Wash and San Cristobal Wash. The map also preserves administrative and protected area details, including the Cabeza Prieta Wilderness and the clear Wilderness and Wildlife Refuge Boundary, reflecting the complex management of this desert environment at the end of the twentieth century.
