1990 Map of Okie Well

About this map

The Barry M Goldwater Air Force Range dominates this desert landscape along the border of Maricopa and Pima Counties. This 1990 provisional survey documents a transition from the alluvial fans of Childs Valley in the north to the formidable peaks of the Growler Mountains in the south. The rugged elevation culminates at Paisano Peak, while the lowlands are defined by drainage networks like Daniels Arroyo and Tenmile Wash. This map is particularly useful for those tracking the history of range management and conservation, as it shows the overlapping boundaries of the Cabeza Prieta Wilderness and Nat Wildlife Rfg. Evidence of historical water access is sparse, centered on the singular point of Okie Well (Dry) in the eastern flats of Growler Valley.
