1996 Map of Saguaro Gap Well

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

Saguaro Gap Well serves as a vital water point in this arid stretch of the Sonoran Desert, situated within the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge. The landscape is dominated by the broad drainage of Growler Wash as it moves through the Cabeza Prieta Wilderness, a region managed for its primitive character and ecological preservation. The northern portion of the map is defined by the Barry M Goldwater Air Force Range, indicating the overlap of military training grounds with protected natural lands. To the west, the foothills of the Granite Mountains rise sharply, creating the topographic bottleneck known as Saguaro Gap. This 1996 survey, based on 1961 topography, illustrates the enduring isolation of this borderland environment where human infrastructure is limited to sparse wells and restricted range boundaries.
