2011 Map of Artesia NE

About this map

San Simon River defines the drainage patterns of this arid landscape in eastern Graham County, carving a central path through a territory marked by ephemeral washes and rugged desert draws. The 2011 survey reveals a sparsely populated terrain where cattle-ranching legacy is hinted at by isolated structures like Rock House. This environment is characterized by wide alluvial features such as Slick Rock Wash and Oak Draw, which demonstrate how seasonal water flow has historically dictated movement and land use in the high desert. The map provides a precise view of the geographic intersections between natural erosion and limited human infrastructure, including Cove Draw in the southeast corner.
