About this map

Summit Mountains and high-desert drainage systems define this section of the Arizona-New Mexico borderland. The landscape is carved by numerous dry washes and canyons, most notably the wide Sand Wash and the complex network of Goat Camp Canyon and China Camp Canyon. Water is a scarce but vital resource here, marked by remote points like Goat Camp Spring and Mulberry Spring which historically supported the isolated ranching operations of the region.

Human presence is sparse, centered on the Stevens Ranch and the small station at Arimex. Long-distance transit relies on primitive routes such as the Goat Camp Loop and Carlisle Rd, which wind through the terrain near landmarks like Charlie Hill and the broad expanse of Hunter Flat. The map documents a rugged rangeland where cattle ranching and seasonal hydrology dictate the pattern of life and movement.
