1980 Map of Blye Canyon SE

About this map

The Mohave Co Yavapai Co boundary line runs vertically through this arid ranching landscape, which is defined by a dense network of water management features. During the mid-1970s field checking, surveyors documented dozens of stock tanks and catchments necessary for sustaining life in this high-desert environment. Notable landmarks include the Greeley Dam and the Jim Smith Tanks, alongside numerous family or location-specific features like Munds Well, Section 8 Well, and the Old Miller Tank. The infrastructure of the era is further marked by a prominent Pipeline and several primitive Jeep Trails that connect these remote water sources. This survey provides a look at the rural land use and hydraulic engineering required to maintain operations across the county line before the turn of the century.
