About this map

Cactus Flat sits within a landscape defined by an extensive network of water management features and desert washes in Navajo County. The area’s ranching and utility history is etched into the terrain through numerous named tanks and windmills, such as Thomas Windmill, Linden Windmill, and Ballard Tank. These critical water points are distributed across a series of drainage systems including Cottonwood Wash, Dodson Wash, and Rattlesnake Draw.

Transport through the region is marked by specialized routes like Pulp Mill Rd, suggesting a connection to local industrial needs, while residential clusters are serviced by roads such as Trebil Blvd and Freeman Hollow Rd. The topography is characterized by long, winding draws like Perkins Spring Draw and Wilson Draw, which channel seasonal flow through the arid flats. This 2011 survey provides a contemporary perspective on a region where traditional land use, represented by features like the Cactus Flat Windmill, persists alongside modern rural development.
