2021 Map of Blye Canyon SE

About this map

The boundary between Mohave Co and Yavapai Co bisects this arid highland landscape, characterized by a sophisticated system of water catchment and ranch infrastructure. Ranching operations are central to the area's layout, evidenced by numerous livestock watering sites such as Jim Smith Tanks, Conejo Tank, and the Old Limestone Tank. The terrain is navigated by a network of ranch-access routes including Diamond M Ranch Rd and Harris Valley Ranch Rd, which connect the remote drainage of Fork Rock Cr to the surrounding plateaus. This 2021 survey illustrates a modern rural economy still deeply tied to the natural hydrology and seasonal water management required for livestock in the Arizona interior.
