2011 Map of Ninetysix Hills SW

About this map

Tom Mix Wash and Bogard Wash weave across this arid landscape in Pinal County, tracing the natural drainage patterns of the Sonoran desert. The terrain is anchored by the presence of Middle Mountain in the north, while the lower elevations are defined by a network of ranching infrastructure. Numerous named stock tanks, including Double Tank, Polo Tank, and Escalanta Tank, indicate the historic and ongoing importance of water management for cattle ranching in this dry corridor. The area is traversed by long desert roads such as E 96 Ranch Rd and Deep Well Ranch Rd, which connect these remote water sources. This 2011 survey captures a landscape where traditional land use and natural washes remain the primary features of the map.
