2011 Map of Dourine Canyon

About this map

Circle Seven Ranch sits at a critical junction of drainage and transportation in this arid Gila County landscape. The ranch is positioned where the seasonal Sevenmile Wash meets Indian Rte-1001, a geography defined by the necessity of water management. Numerous artificial catchments like Granite Butte Tank, Steer Tank, and Quail Mesa Tank are scattered across the terrain to support livestock in the Dourine Pasture. The land is deeply etched by the descent of Champion Creek and the eponymous Dourine Canyon, illustrating the remote ranching infrastructure of the early 21st century. Access is provided by a network of local routes including Skill Center Rd and Indian Rte-903, which navigate the complex topography and connect isolated springs such as Indian Spring to the broader regional corridor.
