1965 Map of Mohawk Mts SE

About this map

The arid expanse of the San Cristobal Valley dominates this 1960s survey, defined by the stark isolation of the Mohawk Mountains and the extensive Luke Air Force Range. This desert landscape is characterized by limited water sources and shifting geology, featuring a prominent band of Sand Dunes cutting through the valley floor and the seasonal San Cristobal Wash to the northeast. Human presence is marked by ephemeral infrastructure like the Pagapo Well (Jeep) Road and remote outposts such as Spains Well (Dry) and White Well (Dry), both noted as dry during the survey. Geological landmarks like the Natural Arch punctuate the high ridges of the Mohawk range, while the southern reaches descend into the Mohawk Valley, showing the transition into the Mohawk Sand Dunes.
