1996 Map of Midway NW

About this map

The Barry M Goldwater Air Force Range dominates this landscape in southern Arizona, where military utility meets the dramatic formations of the Crater Range. This map captures a desert terrain primarily defined by intermittent water drainage and strategic oversight, featuring a Lookout Tower and a Heliport situated on the eastern reaches of the high ground. The hydrologic pattern is characterized by the Midway Wash, which cuts across the arid basin towards the southwest. Small-scale water management features like Black Tank and a simple Well indicate the scarce but vital resources required for any activity in this environment. The presence of numerous 4wd tracks suggests a network of restricted access routes typical of mid-century and late-century tactical training areas, providing a clear record of the infrastructure supporting this expansive defense installation during the late 1990s.
