1941 Map of San Vicente

About this map

San Vicente and the surrounding desert floor are central to this 1938 survey of the Indian Reservation territory in Pima County. The landscape is characterized by a network of ranching outposts and small settlements, including San Ignacio Ranch, Cornell Ranch, and Wattle Hut, which reflect the early 20th-century reliance on seasonal grazing and scarce water sources. Dozens of dispersed water tanks and wells are the primary infrastructure here, sustaining life between the Coyote Mountains and the North Comobabi Mountains.
