About this map

The Whitlock Mountains dominate the southeastern portion of this Graham County landscape, characterized by steep elevation changes and intricate drainage patterns. In the center of the sheet, Dry Mtn stands as a prominent landmark, surrounded by a network of seasonal water sources such as Rock Tank and Cove Tank. The topography reveals a land managed for water conservation, where several named tanks and reservoirs are positioned along dry watercourses to capture intermittent runoff.

Transport through this arid terrain is reflected in the naming of Powerline Pass, while the broader drainage system is defined by Slick Rock Wash and Cove Draw. These features represent a landscape shaped by both geological forces and practical human adaptations for ranching or resource management in a desert environment. The map provides a clear look at the public land survey system divisions, including t8s r28e and t9s r29e, which organize this largely undeveloped expanse.
