1965 Map of Mohawk Mts SE

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Luke Air Force Range dominates this mid-1960s survey of the Sonoran Desert, where military boundaries intersect with the natural landforms of the Mohawk Mountains. The landscape is defined by its arid extremes, from the broad San Cristobal Valley to the shifting Sand Dunes that accumulate along its eastern edge. Evidence of human attempts to secure water in this environment is visible at Spains Well (Dry) and White Well (Dry), both noted as dry by the time of this 1965 field check. A network of Jeep Trails and the Pagapo Well (Jeep) Road provide the only access through the rugged terrain, which includes the distinctive Natural Arch formation. The map also traces the winding course of the San Cristobal Wash and the southern reaches of the Mohawk Valley, illustrating the intersection of defense land use and desert geography.
