1997 Map of Ninetysix Hills NE

About this map

Horse Ranch and the Berrywheel Ranch anchor the high desert landscape of Pinal County, where the Arizona cattle industry shaped the drainage systems and roads of the late 20th century. The terrain is defined by the Ninetysix Hills and Box O Hills, where numerous catchment tanks like The Lake Tank, Hackberry Tank, and Beehive Tank indicate the vital importance of water management in this arid environment. Travel through the region followed established routes such as Old Florence Road and Barkerville Road, connecting scattered outposts. The network of drainage channels, including Cottonwood Wash and Donnelly Wash, illustrates the natural flow towards the basins, while isolated landmarks like Lambring Camp and Box O Ranch reflect the enduring ranching heritage of the Southwest.
