1969 Map of Jakes Knoll

About this map

The Awapa Plateau dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Piute Co and Wayne Co. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the terrain is characterized by a sophisticated network of water management features essential for ranching and land use in this arid environment. Named reservoirs such as West Flat Top Reservoir No 1 and the Cyclone Co-op Reservoir reflect a history of local cooperation and water rights management. Natural landmarks like Jakes Knoll and Red Knoll provide vertical relief among the broader drainage patterns of Big Hollow and Sage Flat Draw. A sparse infrastructure of a solitary Jeep Trail suggests the area's isolation, while the presence of Parker Lake and Pine Point Reservoir highlights the critical importance of reliable water sources at these elevations.
