2018 Map of Artesia

About this map

Artesia and the surrounding desert landscape of Graham County appear here in detail, defined by a complex network of seasonal watercourses and local ranching roads. The settlement patterns are concentrated along the north-south corridor of Highway 191, where Swift Trail Junction and Lebanon serve as local hubs near the base of the mountains. To the west, the terrain rises sharply into the Coronado National Forest, marked by the prominent summit of Metate Peak and a series of rugged drainages including Lefthand Canyon and Dutch Henry Canyon. The drainage system is dominated by the expansive Marijilda Wash and Stockton Wash, which carry runoff across the arid valley floor. Local landmarks like the Artesia Cemetery and Lebanon Reservoir Number Two provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of these small Arizona communities.
