2011 Map of Date Creek Ranch

About this map

Date Creek Ranch serves as a central landmark in this desert landscape of Yavapai County, situated along the ephemeral drainage of Date Creek. The terrain is defined by significant elevations such as Black Mountain, which overlooks a network of ranching roads including Alamo Rd and Date Creek Ranch Rd. Water management is evident through localized features like Possum Tank and Wood Spurger Tank, essential infrastructure for the arid environment. The map captures the spatial relationship between the ranching operations and the natural topography of the Sonoran desert during the early 21st century, illustrating the enduring utility of family-named landmarks in the Arizona backcountry.
