1971 Map of Pima Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Agricultural development and natural hydrology intersect in this 1971 orthophotomap of the Arizona desert. The Gila River dominates the central landscape, showing a complex braided channel system that reflects the seasonal flow patterns of the region. To the north, the structured grid of irrigated fields belonging to Lone Butte Ranch provides a sharp contrast to the surrounding arid terrain. The map also records the confluence of the Vekol Wash as it approaches the river valley from the south. Rising above the lowlands, the prominent landform of Pima Butte serves as a primary geographic anchor for the quadrangle. This aerial perspective captures the specific footprint of desert ranching and water management during the early 1970s.
