1996 Map of Spring Water Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

The cattle ranching heritage of Pima County is etched into this high-desert landscape, defined by the sprawling Las Cienegas National Conservation Area. Numerous family-named homesteads, including Cienega Ranch, Hummel Ranch, and Clyne Ranch, occupy the drainage basins where intermittent water sources were vital for survival. The reliance on subterranean water is evident through a dense network of specialized infrastructure such as the Diamond A Windmill, Cieneguita Windmill, and Lower Spring Water Windmill. Topographically, the area is a complex system of washes and canyons, with Cienega Creek and Spring Water Canyon serving as primary geographic markers. The presence of an Oil Well Tank and a remote Landing Strip further illustrates the varied industrial and logistical uses of this arid terrain in the late 20th century.
