About this map

Aravaipa Canyon carves a deep path through this Graham County landscape, where the seasonal waters of Aravaipa Creek and Kennedy Falls Wash dictate the pattern of human settlement. Ranching and water management are the primary activities documented here, evidenced by the scattered distribution of private operations like River Calderan Ranch and numerous named water sources such as the Paddy Lynch Windmill, Bull Pasture Windmill, and Birdcage Windmill.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the small, remote burial sites scattered across the terrain, including Whalen Cem, Johns Cem, and Kennedy Cem. To the south, the Black Hills rise toward the Coronado National Forest, while the presence of a Landing Strip and small Mine prospects in the northeast corner reflect the modern infrastructure and mineral interests of this arid Arizona territory at the close of the twentieth century.
