2018 Map of Javelina Peak

About this map

Javelina Peak dominates the northern reaches of this Graham County landscape, marking a prominent high point within the Whitlock Mountains. The terrain transitions sharply from these elevations down into the San Simon Valley, where the ephemeral course of the San Simon River winds past landforms with evocative names like Starvation Flat and Gold Gulch. This 2018 survey reveals a desert environment managed for water through scattered catchments such as Lost Tank, Seely Tank, and K M P Tank. While human infrastructure is sparse, restricted primarily to Hackel Rd in the south, the map details the complex drainage network of the high desert, including Ryan Draw and Timber Draw, which define the local hydrology near the Dripping Spring.
