About this map

Ellsworth Ranch and Gibson Ranch anchor the northern landscape of this Navajo County region, where the terrain is defined by deep incisions like Black Canyon and Gentry Canyon. The 2011 survey reveals a geography shaped by the presence of the Mogollon Rim Rd, a critical route through the high country. Water management is central to the area's history, evidenced by an extensive network of specialized tanks such as Wildcat Tank, Bigler Tank, and Jersey Tank, which reflect the livestock and land-use traditions of the Arizona rim country.

Evidence of early settlement and travel is preserved at Baca Cemetery and near Baca Ranch, providing focal points for genealogical research. For recreation and heritage tourism, the map identifies several established sites including Black Canyon Lake and the Black Canyon Rim Campground. This modern topography documents the persistence of ranching life alongside high-altitude landmarks like Brookbank Point and the evocative Hangmans Draw.
