2011 Map of Bobs Well

About this map

Bobs Well serves as a central landmark in this desert landscape of eastern Arizona, situated within a network of drainage patterns defined by Osborne Wash. The area represents a point where modern infrastructure meets the arid backcountry, most notably where the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct cuts across the northeastern corner. This major engineering feat is further identified by the Cap Canal label, indicating the massive scale of water transport required in La Paz County. Two primary unpaved routes, Shea Rd and Parker Swansea Rd, provide the only significant access through the terrain, suggesting a region largely dedicated to ranching or resource management rather than dense settlement. The map provides a clear look at the hydrologic layout of the desert floor before these ephemeral washes reach larger basins.
