About this map

The Little Colorado River winds through the northern portion of this Navajo County landscape, carving through the high desert terrain of the Colorado Plateau. This 1971 survey illustrates a region defined by its drainage systems and water management, featuring significant seasonal washes like Mexican Hollow Wash and Cottonwood Wash. The landscape is characterized by its agricultural and ranching infrastructure, evidenced by several Corrals and a network of named livestock tanks including Antelope Tank, Jim Dandy Tank, and Dry Lake Tank.

Surface water is a central theme, with the confluence of Hay Hollow Draw and West Hay Hollow Draw providing a detailed look at the local hydrography. The presence of a Drill Hole and established trails suggests a history of resource exploration and movement across the desert before the later 1980s revisions. This map captures a moment when the rural character of Navajo County remained centered on these vital water sources and traditional routes.
