2014 Map of Javelina Peak

About this map

Javelina Peak dominates the eastern high ground of this Graham County landscape, marking a prominent point within the Whitlock Mountains. The terrain transitions sharply from these rocky heights into the broad, arid expanse of the San Simon Valley to the west. Water management is the primary evidence of human activity in this desert environment, with numerous catchment points such as K M P Tank, Lost Tank, and Seely Tank distributed across the township sections. The ephemeral San Simon River winds through the valley floor, joined by drainage features like Gold Gulch and Ryan Draw. Historical routes and local access are represented by Hackel Rd, which strikes across the basin near the curiously named Starvation Flat, providing a detailed look at the geographic nomenclature used by ranchers and early travelers in the Arizona borderlands.
