Luke Air Force Range dominates this portion of Maricopa County, reflecting the extensive military presence in the Arizona desert during the mid-1980s. The landscape is characterized by the broad, low expanse of Tartron Flat in the north and the distinct topographic rise of Cinder Mountain to the east. Isolated industrial and navigational markers like a Gravel Pit and a Control Tower punctuate the arid terrain, connected by a network of 4wd tracks rather than improved roads. This provisional survey captures the intersection of desert wilderness and military infrastructure, where high-relief volcanic features like Cinder Mountain serve as landmarks within the restricted airspace and bombing ranges.
