1966 Map of Ninetysix Hills NW

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Arid grazing and mining terrain dominates this mid-1960s survey of Pinal County, where water management is the primary sign of human adaptation. The landscape is defined by the Ninetysix Hills and Middle Mountain, with drainage patterns established by Paisano Wash and Box O Wash. Ranching infrastructure is everywhere, evidenced by numerous catchment basins such as Rincon Tank, Half Moon Tank, and Burro Flaco Tank. Evidence of industrial activity appears at the Mine Shaft Windmill, a specific point of interest for those studying early extraction efforts in the region. The topography rises toward Allens Peak, providing a clear view of the complex desert relief between the Cat Hills and the Box O Hills. This survey is a record of a remote desert environment before modern expansion, where survival depended on the strategic placement of wells and livestock tanks.
