2021 Map of Dourine Canyon

About this map

Dourine Canyon and the surrounding high desert of Gila County are defined by a complex network of seasonal water drainage and cattle-raising infrastructure. The landscape is dominated by the broad course of Sevenmile Wash, which receives smaller tributaries like Champion Cr. This 2021 survey illustrates a region largely dedicated to open range, as evidenced by Dourine Pasture and a high density of named water catchments vital for livestock in this arid environment. Significant water features such as Indian Spring, Metate Tank, and Steer Tank are dispersed across the township and range grids, connected by Bureau of Indian Affairs routes including Bia RD 900 and Bia RD 903. The presence of Skill Center Rd in the southern portion of the map suggests modern development patterns intersecting with the traditional land use of the Dourine area.
