2021 Map of Javelina Peak

About this map

The Whitlock Mountains dominate the northeastern portion of this Graham County survey, anchored by the prominent Javelina Peak. This arid landscape is defined by the broad San Simon Valley to the south and west, where the San Simon River winds through open terrain. Water management is the primary sign of human adaptation in this desert environment, evidenced by scattered livestock watering points like Lost Tank, Seely Tank, and K M P Tank. The drainage patterns are clearly delineated through numerous named arroyos and washes, including Timber Draw, Ryan Draw, and Gold Gulch, while the oddly named Starvation Flat suggests the challenging nature of the local geography. Ranching infrastructure and remote desert access are further indicated by Hackel Rd and the vital Dripping Spring tucked into the mountain slopes.
