About this map

Cross Mountain anchors this high-desert landscape in Yavapai County, where water management is the primary signature of land use. The presence of numerous named water catchments, including Jack Webb Tank, Shorty Davis Tank, and Hoggy John Tank, reflects the essential infrastructure of ranching operations in this arid environment. These features, along with Trout Cr, provide critical context for understanding the historic and modern agricultural footprint across the Seventyfour Plains.

The survey details a sparse but vital network of named roads and trails that traverse the terrain, such as N Painted Horse Trl and W Howling Coyote Rd. These routes connect the low-lying Dividing Canyon to the broader plateaus. The landscape is structured by the intersection of multiple township and range boundaries, including t22n r9w and t21n r8w, illustrating the geometric parceling of this open rangeland.
