About this map

Baldy Bill Point rises as a prominent landmark in this high-elevation Graham County landscape, characterized by a complex drainage network that feeds into Bear Wallow Creek. The area’s ranching history and forest management are evident in the presence of Saunders Cabin and a series of livestock infrastructure including McBride Corral, Sanders Corral, and the Yellowjacket Corral. These features, along with scattered water sources like Maverick Spring and Squirrel Tank, suggest a landscape historically utilized for seasonal grazing and wilderness monitoring, anchored by the Reno Lookout in the north.

The topography is deeply incised by numerous canyons and seasonal waterways, such as Schell Canyon, Bear Canyon, and the striking Chitty Falls located along Chitty Canyon. The distribution of named tanks and springs, from Upper Malay Tank to Red Tail Tank, underscores the critical importance of water management in this arid mountainous environment. This survey captures the remote character of the region as it was monitored and maintained in the early 21st century.
