About this map

Parsons Grove and various cattle corrals dot this desert landscape, reflecting a region defined by ranching and mining access in the early twenty-first century. The presence of Wire Corral, Don Jose Corral, and Hanks Corral suggests a continuing tradition of range management across the arid terrain. Rugged canyons such as Oak Grove Canyon and Garden Spring Canyon are punctuated by numerous water sources, including Mescal Tank and Soda Spring, which were vital for sustaining livestock and prospectors alike.

Infrastructure is represented by the Bluebird Mine Rd in the south, leading toward the drainage of Copper Creek. The northeastern corner is anchored by the Fourmile Ranch, situated near where Fourmile Creek cuts through the high ground. Notable geological landmarks like Black Butte, Sixtysix Peak, and Mescal Peak provide distinct navigational points for those tracing historical land use or family ranching ties in this part of Pinal County.
