1989 Map of Rawhide Mountain

About this map

The San Carlos Indian Reservation dominates this 1989 survey, covering a high-desert landscape defined by the Rawhide Mountain range and the Indian Treaty Boundary at its northern edge. This area, straddling the border of Pinal and Graham counties, shows a terrain carved by numerous seasonal drainages such as Starlight Canyon and Hawk Canyon. Human activity in this arid environment is marked by isolated structures and livestock infrastructure, including the Sanders Rangeline Cabin and several catchment basins like Talk Too Much Tank and Roadrunner Tank. Historical mining interest is evident on the slopes of Copper Reef Mountain, where the Copper Reef Mine and several Mina Shafts are located. The map also captures ranching remnants like the Coal Field Windmill and the Red Rooster Spring at the southern boundary, providing a detailed record of water sources and 4WD trails across this remote part of Arizona.
