2021 Map of Ninetysix Hills SE

About this map

The Ninetysix Hills rise in the northern portion of this Pinal County landscape, providing a complex terrain of ridges and drainages that define the local hydrology. This 2021 survey reveals a territory primarily shaped by seasonal water management and desert ranching infrastructure. Arid washes such as Box O Wash, Tom Mix Wash, and the lengthy Brady Wash traverse the area, while human-made catchments like Buck Tank, Middle Tank, and South Tank provide vital water points across the desert floor. The presence of E 96 Ranch Rd and N Barkerville Rd suggests a landscape tied to cattle operations, where navigation relies on these named tanks and the prominent landmark of Coyote Peak. The map provides a clear view of the township and range system, marking transitions between t6s r12e and t7s r13e across this expanse of the Sonoran desert.
