2014 Map of North of Oracle

About this map

Oracle anchors the southern portion of this high-desert landscape in the Black Hills, where the transition from settlement to wilderness is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages. This arid geography is dominated by numerous washes and arroyos, including Bloodsucker Wash, Javelina Wash, and Chirreones Arroyo, which together illustrate the complex hydrological patterns that shape the local terrain. The reliance on water management in this environment is evident through several mapped reservoirs and collection points such as Snyder Tank, Hidden Tank, and the numbered Number One and Number Two Dirt Tanks. The Arizona National Scenic Trail traverses the eastern side of the survey, cutting through the elevation changes of the hills. Local infrastructure is reflected in residential and access roads near the town site, such as N Rockcliff Blvd and W Oracle Ranch Rd, providing a clear record of the area's development and land use into the early 21st century.
