About this map

Silver Butte and Sugarloaf Butte dominate this section of the Arizona highlands, where the drainage networks of West Cedar Creek and Middle Cedar Cr have carved a complex system of canyons and flats. The landscape is defined by its reliance on dispersed water sources, evidenced by numerous named springs such as Wigwam Spring, Owl Spring, and the descriptively named Stinking Spring.

Logistics and livestock management appear central to the local geography, with labels like Horse Bone Flat and Turkey-Track Flat Tank suggesting a history of ranching operations. The road network, including W Dish Chin Rd and various county routes, follows the natural contours of the land, connecting isolated points like Junction Tanks and Red Canyon. This survey provides a clear view of the hydraulic infrastructure of the high desert, from Water Trough Spring to the strategically placed Red Knoll Tank.
