1966 Map of Ninetysix Hills NW

About this map

Allens Peak and the high ridges of the Ninetysix Hills dominate this arid landscape in central Pinal County, where survival was historically dictated by access to water. The map documents a network of critical watering points scattered across the desert terrain, such as Middle Mtn Tank, Rincon Tank, and Half Moon Tank. These features, along with several others including Coyote Tank and Burro Flaco Tank, illustrate the importance of water management for livestock in this environment during the mid-20th century.
