2011 Map of Georges Butte

About this map

The Black River winds through this high-country landscape in Navajo County, carving a deep, serpentine path that defines the northern half of the region. This 2011 survey reveals a remote landscape where water management is critical for land use, evidenced by a network of isolated reservoirs and tanks. Notable landmarks like Georges Butte and Round Valley anchor the geography, while drainages such as Lost Mule Creek and Deer Creek flow toward the primary river system. Transportation is limited to the winding path of Indian Rte 4 in the southeast corner. The presence of numerous named water catchments, including Pole Corral Tank and Steele Tank, suggests a history of livestock grazing and land management in this arid territory. This map serves as a primary record of the hydrological features and topography of the area during the early 21st century.
