1979 Map of Fairchild Well

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Petroglyphs located in the southeastern corner of the quadrangle provide a window into the cultural history of this high-altitude landscape in Apache County. This 1970s survey captures a sparse ranching and grazing territory where survival was dictated by the availability of water. The presence of numerous designated water sources, including the namesake Fairchild Well, Bar-N Well, and Mesa Well, highlights the critical infrastructure required for livestock management in this arid region. The drainage of Hardscrabble Wash cuts across the southern portion of the sheet, while a complex network of fence and field lines, visible from aerial photography, reveals the methodical division of the land during this era. This topographic record preserves the locations of isolated Water Tank sites and boundary markers essential for navigation and property identification in the vast desert expanses of Arizona.
