About this map

Hummingbird Spring provides a vital water source in this arid corner of Maricopa County, situated near the transition to the Big Horn Mountains. The landscape is defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems, including Woodchopper Wash, Old Camp Wash, and Pump Mine Wash, which carve through the desert terrain. These washes, along with features like Dead Horse Tank and U-S-Tank, suggest a history of ranching or livestock management in a region where water security is the primary concern for any inhabitant.

Transportation through this isolated area is facilitated by secondary routes such as Wickenburg Rd, Aguila Rd, and the descriptively named W Microwave Station Rd. The topography is dominated by local elevations such as Sugarloaf Mtn, which serves as a prominent landmark for those navigating the backcountry. This map preserves the 2018 layout of township and range boundaries, specifically within t4n r8w and t4n r7w, illustrating the modern management of these traditional western lands.
