About this map

Puerco Ridge dominates this high-desert landscape in Apache County, captured during a 1972 aerial survey and field checked in the mid-1970s. The region is defined by a sparse network of ranching and utility infrastructure, where water sources like Hogan Well and Jenson Well served as critical landmarks for navigating the arid terrain. The presence of multiple Gas Well sites and Water Tank locations suggests a landscape utilized for both energy extraction and livestock management during the late twentieth century.

Transportation across the undulating topography of Milky Wash was largely restricted to a Jeep Trail, reflecting the remote and unpaved character of the area. This map provides a clear record of land use before further development or shifts in regional water management, offering researchers a look at specific well placements like Well No 1 and the primitive road networks used by locals and workers at the time.
