About this map

Ninetysix Hills and the neighboring Box O Hills define this arid landscape in Pinal County, where a network of ephemeral drainage systems carves through the desert floor. The map highlights the vital role of water management in this environment, featuring numerous scattered reservoirs and catchment points such as The Lake Tank, Beehive Tank, and Middle Tank. These features represent essential infrastructure for ranching operations in a region dominated by seasonal watercourses like Cottonwood Wash and Donnelly Wash.

Transportation through this territory is facilitated by a few primary routes, including the E Florence-Kelvin Hwy and N Barkerville Rd, which connect the isolated ranching outposts. The presence of Helmweel Ranch Rd further indicates the area's agricultural and pastoral character. The map's detail provides a clear view of the complex hydrology, tracing the paths of Lambing Camp Wash and Box O Wash as they navigate the basin between the elevated hill ranges.
