About this map

Salt Cr winds through a landscape of deep drainages and intermittent water sources in this Graham County territory. The map reveals a reliance on water management through numerous cattle tanks, including Branaman Tank, Salt Box Tank, Boni Tank, and the isolated Lost Man Tank. These features, coupled with natural water points like Branaman Spring and Cottonwood Spring, suggest a history of ranching and livestock movement through the complex terrain of Wildhorse Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon.

Inland connectivity is marked by unpaved routes such as Co RD 240, Co RD 232, and Yellowjacket RD, which follow the contours of the high desert. The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the significant drainage of Fivemile Wash and the rugged passage of Bone Spring Canyon. This survey provides a clear look at the township and range boundaries that organized these Graham County uplands.
