1965 Map of O'Neill Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Camino Del Diablo winds through this arid section of the Sonoran Desert, tracing a path of historical survival along the international border with Sonora. The landscape is dominated by the overlapping boundaries of the Luke Air Force Range and the Cabeza Prieta Game Range, where the environment transitions from the Pinta Sands and Tule Lava Flow in the west to the O'Neill Hills and Agua Dulce Mts in the east. Scattered landmarks offer traces of early desert activity, including the lonely site of O'Neills Grave near O'Neill Pass and the isolated Dos Playas. Resource extraction is marked by the Papago Mine and Rasmussen Mine, while critical water sources like Papago Well and the ephemeral San Cristobal Wash define the limited infrastructure of this remote borderland.
