2018 Map of Humpy Camp Well

About this map

Ives Mesa stands as a prominent topographical feature in this high-desert landscape of Navajo County, which is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage systems. The hydrography of the region is dominated by the wandering paths of Fern-Feather Wash and the winding Cottonwood Wash, illustrating how water shaped the movement and settlement patterns in this arid territory. Man-made interventions to secure water for ranching and livestock are evident through landmarks like Humpy Camp Well, New Well, and livestock tanks such as Marshall Tank and Fern-Feather Tank. These features, connected by remote paths like the Cow Trl, reveal a landscape prioritized for cattle ranging. The map provides a clear look at the township and range survey lines that partitioned the desert, marking the intersection of natural terrain and human land management in the early twenty-first century.
