2021 Map of Hot Well

About this map

The Peloncillo Mountains dominate the central landscape of this boundary region where Graham County meets Greenlee County. The map documents a rugged desert terrain defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the heights of Flat Top and the Blackfield Canyon slopes down into the expansive Whitlock Valley. This 2021 survey traces the modern hydrological and transportation network of the high desert, including the Gila River corridor near Fox and the intermittent drainage paths of Rainville Wash and Burro Wash. Cultural markers like the Indian Rocks and the small settlement at Hot Well provide anchor points for understanding human presence in this arid environment. The road network, including Burma Rd and Sanders Rd, illustrates how modern access routes navigate the complex topography of Woods Canyon and the surrounding draws.
