2014 Map of Okie Well

About this map

Growler Mountains dominate the southeastern landscape of this Sonoran Desert quadrangle, where the arid environment is defined by seasonal watercourses and remote landmarks. The terrain is bisected by the county boundary between Maricopa and Pima counties, a line that separates the high peaks from the alluvial flats to the north. Historical land use in this sparsely populated region is evidenced by Okie Well, a critical water point situated in the eastern reaches of the valley. Drainage patterns are clearly marked by the winding paths of Tenmile Wash in the northeast and Daniels Arroyo in the southwest, illustrating the hydraulic connectivity of the desert floor during infrequent but significant rain events.
