About this map

San Carlos Indian Reservation land dominates the northern and central portions of this landscape, where the high peak of Bryce Mountain overlooks a network of arid drainages. Water management is a primary feature of this terrain, evidenced by numerous infrastructure points like Geronimo Dam, Oak Trough Tank, and Deadman Tank. These man-made features alongside natural water sources like Little Spring and Coyote Spring illustrate the necessity of capturing every drop in the Graham County high country.

Settlement is sparse, limited primarily to the Park Creek Cabins, while evidence of human utility appears in the southern reaches at a Quarry near Martinez Wash. Deeply incised paths like Bear Canyon and Lopas Canyon reveal the erosive power of seasonal flows, leading toward Bonita Creek in the northeast. The map also records several corrals and 4WD tracks that navigate the breaks between Pima Gap and Bobs Flat.
