1979 Map of Mildred Peak

About this map

The Baboquivari Mountains dominate this 1970s landscape, where a network of desert washes and isolated ranching outposts define the character of Pima County. Part of the Indian Reservation Papago, the area shows a history of mineral extraction at the Gold Bullion Mine and Jupiter Mine, while cattle ranching is evidenced by the presence of the Santa Margarita Ranch, Las Moras Ranch, and Shaffer Camp. The terrain is marked by significant peaks such as Mildred Peak and Osobavi Peak, with complex drainage patterns across Thomas Canyon Wash and Las Moras Wash. Genealogists and local historians can find specific points of interest like the Cem near Cemetery Tank, and named water sources such as Charlie Bent Well and Clemente Windmill, which were essential for survival in this arid environment.
