1965 Map of O'Neill Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

O'Neills Grave stands as a solitary historical marker in the heart of this arid landscape, situated near O'Neill Pass between the O'Neill Hills and the Agua Dulce Mts. The terrain is defined by the historic track of the Camino Del Diablo, an arduous route crossing the Tule Desert and skirting the edge of the Pinacate Lava Flow. This 1960s survey captures the area when it was shared by the Cabeza Prieta Game Range and the Luke Air Force Range, highlighting a remote borderland where water sources like Papago Well and Dos Playas were essential for survival. Traces of human activity are sparse but notable, including the Papago Mine and Rasmussen Mine, which represent the difficult prospecting efforts along the United States-Mexico border.
