About this map

The Black River winds along the northern border of this Apache and Graham County landscape, marking a deep boundary through high-altitude terrain. The topography is defined by significant landmarks like Freezeout Mtn and the strategic passage at BS Gap, while the central and eastern portions are carved by Arkie Canyon, Helen Canyon, and Little Bear Canyon. This area of the Apache Co Graham Co line is characterized by its remote network of water management features, critical for the local ecosystem.

Water sources are predominantly represented by various tanks used for storage and livestock, including Yellow Pine Tank, Malay Tank, and Cox Corral Tank. Drainage patterns are visible through the course of Malay Cr and the intermittent flow of Dry Prong Cr. These features, alongside Malay Gap, indicate a landscape where travel and settlement were shaped by the steep gradients and the necessity of managing scarce water resources in the high desert of eastern Arizona.
