1996 Map of Tortolita Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

The Tortolita Mountains dominate this landscape on the boundary of Pinal and Pima counties, where water sources defined life and exploration. Arid canyons and washes like Parker Canyon, Guild Wash, and Fresnal Canyon drain the high ground, while named springs such as Cochie Spring, Bass Spring, and Cottonwood Spring provide critical landmarks in the desert. The presence of several Mine Shafts, a Mine, and multiple Prospect labels scattered across the terrain point to the region's mining heritage. These sites, along with infrastructure like the Riddle Windmill and the Pipeline, illustrate how the area was used for both resource extraction and ranching. Movement across the terrain is primarily marked by 4wd tracks and the Falcon Divide, reflecting the challenging environment of the Tortolita Mountain Park.
