Bullard Wash cuts a prominent path across this desert landscape in western Arizona, serving as the primary drainage through a terrain marked by isolated peaks and seasonal water catchments. The distribution of infrastructure here revolves around water management, with numerous cattle tanks such as TK Tank, Wood Tank, and Ritter Tank strategically placed to support ranching operations in this arid environment. The presence of Little Pemberton Tank and Little Black Hill Tank further emphasizes the necessity of these reliable water points for local land use. Transport in the region is defined by the diagonal corridor of Az-71, providing the sole modern thoroughfare across the townships. This 2014 survey documents the continued reliance on traditional water-harvesting features within the vast sections of the Sonoran desert during the early twenty-first century.
