1942 Map of Vekol Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Vekol Mountains rise as a prominent geological feature in this desert landscape, which in the late 1930s was defined by mining activity and the boundaries of the Papago Indian Reservation. The presence of numerous extraction sites, including the Vekol Mine, Christmas Gift Mine, and Reward Mine, indicates a period of significant mineral exploration across the central and southern reaches of the quadrangle. Small settlements like Sif Vaya and Kohatk are situated near ephemeral drainages such as Vekol Wash and Kohatk Wash, illustrating how human habitation followed the natural contours of the desert floor. The map also records early twentieth-century land divisions, showing where the borders of Maricopa, Pinal, and Pima counties converge amidst peaks like Table Top Mountain.
