About this map

The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad serves as the primary corridor through this Yavapai County landscape at the end of the 1960s, bisecting the region near the settlement of Flores. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Antelope Creek, Martinez Creek, and Weaver Creek, which flow toward the south and west. Arid-land water management is evident through numerous features like Martinez Tank, Big Tank, and Pitts Tank, essential for ranching or local industry in this environment.

Infrastructure in the area includes Moreton Airport located south of the main settlement and several specialized sites like a Borrow Pit near the northern hills. Extensive Jeep Trails and trails wind through the high ground of Black Hill and follow the paths of Black Hill Wash and Martinez Wash, showing the movement patterns of the era before modern development altered the rural character of this high desert terrain.
