2014 Map of Bronco Gulch

About this map

Rocky Junction serves as a focal point in this high-desert landscape where Gila and Graham counties meet. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the San Carlos River, which carves through the central portion of the area near Bronco Gulch and Kidde Canyon. To the north, the elevation rises sharply toward the Natanes Plateau and features like Allen Trap, while the southern reaches are marked by a network of drainage systems and isolated watering points. A reliance on seasonal water management is evident through the numerous catchment features documented, including White Ledge Tank, Summit Tank, and the Upper Junction Tank. Remote access across these mesas and flats is provided by a series of backroads such as Dehorn Rd and Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia-8, illustrating the infrastructure required to manage these wide-reaching Arizona lands.
