2014 Map of Carrizo

About this map

Carrizo stands near the northern edge of this high-desert landscape, situated where Us-60 winds through the complex topography of Gila County. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations and deep incisions, including the massive Cibecue Ridge to the northwest and the distinctive Ragged Top Mtn to the west. This 2014 survey documents a land managed through numerous water improvements, visible in the high density of named tanks such as Mud Cat Tank, Wild Steer Tank, and Javelina Tank. These features, along with several springs like A Ninetysix Spring and Limestone Spring, highlight the essential infrastructure for ranching in this arid environment. The map also traces the winding course of Carrizo Creek as it cuts south toward Bat Canyon, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have shaped the local geography between Wild Dove Butte and Cow Pasture Butte.
