2014 Map of Deep Lake

About this map

Deep Lake and its surrounding desert basin define this arid landscape within the Fort Defiance Agency region. The 2014 survey reveals a sparse network of modern residential roads, such as Antelope Wells Blvd and Hillview Dr, surfacing in the southwestern reaches of the quadrangle. These recent developments contrast with the established ranching and grazing infrastructure of the high desert, marked by scattered water sources like Yellow Tank and Deer Tank. The natural hydrology is dominated by ephemeral systems, including the prominent Hardscrabble Wash and the northern drainage of Morgan Canyon. Long-distance transportation is anchored by Us-191, which cuts through the western sections near Hogan Lake and Squaw Lake, providing a vital link through the open terrain. The map records the intersection of modern road planning with the traditional open-range landscape of Apache County.
