1996 Map of Okie Well

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

The Barry M Goldwater Air Force Range dominates this corner of the Sonoran Desert, where military land management overlaps with significant conservation efforts. The landscape is defined by the sharp rise of the Growler Mountains and the arid expanses of Growler Valley and Childs Valley. Resource management is visible through the Cabeza Prieta Nat Wildlife Refuge and the designated Cabeza Prieta Wilderness, protecting a region where water is the primary limiting factor. Evidence of this scarcity is marked at Okie Well (Dry), a site that highlights the difficulty of settlement and cattle ranching in the Maricopa and Pima county borderlands. Drainage patterns such as Tenmile Wash and Daniels Arroyo trace the paths of seasonal runoff across the desert floor, providing the only relief in an otherwise parched environment.
