About this map

Haley Hills and the Boot Hills dominate this arid landscape on the border of Maricopa and Pinal counties. Surveyed in the late 1970s, the terrain is defined by complex drainage systems, most notably the wide path of Vekol Wash as it moves through the desert floor. This area represents a transition between the elevated peaks of the Palo Verde Mountains and the lower alluvial plains of Hidden Valley.

Signs of ranching and early infrastructure are scattered throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by Poverty Flat Tank and several isolated wells. Human modification of the landscape is visible through the presence of a Borrow Pit and a prominent Pipeline that traverses the northern sections. Notable landmarks like Papago Butte provide orientation in a region where travel was dictated by desert corridors like Papago Rd and Mesquite Road.
