About this map

Empire Ranch anchors this landscape of conservation and historic extraction in southeastern Arizona. The map details the transition between the Empire Mountains and the drainage systems of Cienega Creek, which is protected within the Cienega Creek Natural Preserve. This era of the late 20th century shows the area as a focus for environmental management, evidenced by the inclusion of the Las Cienegas National Conservation Area.

Mining history is preserved through the locations of the Total Wreck Mine and Hilton Mine, alongside various prospects and borrow pits. The topography is defined by numerous canyons such as Anderson Canyon and Wakefield Canyon, while water sources like Bootlegger Spring and Alfalfa Well mark the arid terrain. Infrastructure is concentrated near the Pantano Interchange and the Pantano Substation, serving as a gateway to the high desert interior.
