1964 Map of Growler Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Growler Range dominates this mid-century desert landscape, where water sources like Charlie Bell Wells and Salt Well provided essential survival points in an arid environment. Managed largely as part of the Luke Air Force Range and the Cabeza Prieta Game Range, the area remains characterized by isolated mountain peaks and expansive drainage systems. The presence of Growler Wash and Daniels Wash highlights the natural corridors that cross the terrain, while landmarks such as Sheep Peak and Growler Peak serve as primary navigational anchors. Human presence is sparse, marked by a few utility points like Saguaro Gap Well and Lower Well, alongside a lone Landing Strip. This survey captures the transition of the region into a strictly managed military and conservation territory, preserving the topographical relationship between the Pryeta Mountains and the surrounding desert floor before contemporary shifts in land use.
