About this map

Hydraulic engineering for livestock and survival defines this arid boundary between Mohave County and Yavapai County. The landscape is a network of water collection points, ranging from named landmarks like Greeley Dam and Lucky Dam to smaller cattle-watering features such as Jim Smith Tanks and Conejo Tank. These catchments, combined with the presence of a pipeline and a Corral, suggest a ranching economy reliant on carefully managed drainage basins.

Several features point to a history of site reuse and development, notably the proximity of Old Limestone Tank and New Limestone Tank. Transportation is limited to a singular Jeep Trail cutting through the interior, while family-named sites like Old Miller Tank, Munds Well, and Munds Tank provide valuable markers for local history and genealogy research in this sparsely settled high-desert territory.
