2014 Map of Ninetysix Hills SW

About this map

Tom Mix Wash and Brady Wash dominate the hydrological character of this Pinal County landscape, cutting through an arid expanse defined by a series of critical water storage features. These named tanks, including Double Tank, Toyrea Tank, and Escalanta Tank, represent the vital infrastructure required for ranching and survival in the Arizona desert. The terrain is marked by the prominence of Mid Mtn in the northern reach, while the southern portion is drained by Bogard Wash. This 2014 survey captures a moment when the regional road network, anchored by Az-79 and secondary routes like Iron Valley Rd and Freeman Rd, facilitates movement across the township and range divisions of the Ninetysix Hills. The distribution of these water points and washes highlights the historical dependence on seasonal drainage and man-made tanks to support life and livestock in this environment.
