About this map

Yampai Divide and the surrounding high desert canyonlands are defined by a complex network of ephemeral water catchments and ranching infrastructure. The landscape is characterized by numerous livestock reservoirs such as Nelson Tank, Circle Tank, and Last Chance Tank, which are vital for local water management in this arid environment. These features are connected by drainage systems like Truxton Wash, which winds through the central corridor between Faught Canyon and Nelson Canyon.

Transportation through this part of Yavapai and Mohave counties relies on a grid of rural ranch roads, including Pumphouse Rd and Wooden Ear Ranch Rd. A significant landmark is the X-1 Ranch Upper Headquarters Airport, illustrating the modern logistical requirements of managing large western landholdings. This 2018 survey serves as a clear record of current land use and ranching boundaries in the Arizona interior.
