About this map

Notanes Plateau dominates the northern landscape of this Arizona quadrangle, where high desert elevations are marked by seasonal water sources and deep drainage patterns. The boundary between Gila Co and Graham Co cuts directly across the center of the sheet, providing a clear reference for researchers studying county-line land holdings or grazing allotments. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by several catchment features, including Kidde Tank in the north and Deadman Tank to the south.

Ephemeral flows like Ash Cr and Banty Cr have carved distinct geological features such as Skunk Canyon and the evocatively named Sweetmeat Draw. In the eastern portion of the map, the Wild Monkey Trap suggests localized historical land use or specific geographic landmarks known to residents of the region. Most of the terrain remains undeveloped, with Co Rd 8 appearing as one of the few established transportation routes through the southwest corner.
