1986 Map of Midway

About this map

Luke Air Force Range dominates this landscape in the mid-1980s, reflecting the significant military footprint in the Arizona desert. The map captures a transition from the level terrain in the west, marked by a prominent north-south Pipeline, to the sharp elevations of the Sauceda Mountains in the east. Among these peaks, Lookout Mountain stands as a primary landmark. Sparse water resources are noted by features like Thanksgiving Day Tank, essential for survival in this arid environment. The small settlement of Midway appears in the southwest corner, while various 4wd tracks crisscross the range, indicating the limited but necessary transport network required for range maintenance and access to this remote interior of Maricopa County.
