About this map

Date Creek Mountains and the prominent Black Mountain define this landscape within Yavapai County, where water sources were critical for ranching and travel in the late 1960s. The map captures the infrastructure of the high desert, from the Date Creek Ranch and Evans Well to dispersed watering holes like Possum Tank and Wood Spurger Tank.

Surface transportation is marked by a mix of established routes and primitive tracks, including the Alamo Road and various networks labeled as Jeep Trail. Evidence of local materials extraction appears at a Borrow Pit, while the inclusion of a Roadside Rest along the primary thoroughfare indicates the area's role as a transit corridor for travelers crossing the desert between more populous regions.
