2018 Map of Bonita Tank

About this map

The Gila Mountains dominate the southern portion of this landscape, rising above the high desert floor where Ash Flat spreads across the northern reaches. This 2018 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a network of water resources vital to the region's ranching and land management, including SCS Tank, Allan Tank, and Steer Pasture Tank. The topography is defined by significant drainages such as Paymaster Wash, which cuts through Paymaster Canyon, and the Left Fork Markham Cr. In the southeast, Slaughter Mtn stands as a prominent landmark near the winding path of Bonita Cr. The map captures the remote character of this Graham County territory, where primitive routes like Co RD 11 provide the primary access through the broken terrain and seasonal watercourses.
