About this map

One Hundred Eleven Ranch sits as the primary settlement marker in this arid portion of Graham County, where the management of seasonal water defines the landscape. The infrastructure of the area is centered on water catchment and diversion, highlighted by the Slick Rock Detention Dam and the One Eleven Detention Dam positioned along the drainage of Slick Rock Wash. These features indicate the critical nature of flash-flood control and livestock watering in a high-desert environment.

The topography transitions from the lower drainage of Cove Draw toward the rising elevations of Dry Mountain and the Whitlock Mountains to the east. Navigational points such as Powerline Pass and a network of named water catchments, including Rock Tank, Cove Tank, and Fall Tank, provide essential landmarks for researchers and land managers tracking the ranching and utility corridors of the modern era.
