1990 Map of Gurli Put Vo

About this map

The Santa Rosa Valley floor and the rising slopes of the Brownell Mountains define this landscape within the Papago Indian Reservation. This desert region in the late 1980s reveals a history of mining and local commerce centered near the settlement of Quijotoa. The presence of the Quijotoa Trading Post and a nearby Cem suggests a localized hub of activity alongside Route 86. The map documents a rugged water-management system essential for the environment, featuring levees, a Substa, and critical water sources like San Tomos Well and Brownell Well. Resource extraction is evident through scattered prospects, a Gravel Pit, and the Prospect V O Mine, while the ephemeral drainage of Quijotoa Wash and Ak Chin Wash illustrates the natural flow patterns through the basin floor.
