About this map

The Papago Indian Reservation dominates the center of this landscape, where the seasonal drainage of Tat Momoli Wash carves a path through the desert basin. To the east and southwest, the terrain rises into the distinctive peaks of the Sawtooth Mountains and the Slate Mountains, including the prominent landmark known simply as Tooth. This 1981 survey illustrates a sparse desert environment where water and minerals dictated human presence, marked by isolated features like Corral Well and an unnamed Well. Evidence of small-scale exploration is visible in the southwestern corner, where a Mine and Prospect sit near the border of Pinal and Pima counties. The vast Aguirre Valley spreads across the eastern portion of the sheet, while a modern Substation indicates the encroachment of regional infrastructure into this traditional territory.
