1988 Map of North of Oracle

About this map

Camp Grant Wash and Grant Camp Wash carve through the arid landscape of Pinal County, reflecting a water-reliant geography defined by scattered ranching and mining infrastructure. The terrain rises toward the Black Hills in the northeast, while the southern reaches are marked by the Chirreones Arroyo and Big Wash. This 1980s data, compiled from earlier aerial photography, highlights the critical importance of water management in the desert, noting numerous named features such as Snyder Well, West Well, and Number One Dirt Tank. Evidence of human activity beyond ranching appears in the north with a Mine Shaft near Bloodsucker Wash and a remote Landing Strip. The network of 4wd tracks, Pipeline, and Trans Line corridors suggests a landscape managed for utility and transport across the undulating desert floor.
