About this map

The Little Colorado River meanders through this portion of Navajo County, Arizona, shaping a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and cattle ranching infrastructure. During this early 1970s period, the area's geography is marked by an extensive network of water management features essential for livestock in the arid environment. Numerous man-made improvements are visible, including the Jim Dandy Tank, Antelope Tank, and Dry Lake Tank, alongside natural water sources like Horse Seep.

Evidence of local land use is further indicated by several Corrals and a Jeep Trail cutting across the northern reaches near Mexican Hollow. The map also captures specialized industrial markers such as a Drill Hole and the Powerline Tank. Drainages like Cottonwood Wash and the prominent Hay Hollow Draw illustrate the natural hydraulic patterns of the region, providing a detailed look at the rural Arizona backcountry before modern development.
