2018 Map of Kearn Lake

About this map

Kearn Lake and the surrounding high desert of Apache County are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and ephemeral water bodies. This 2018 survey documents a landscape of significant topographic relief, where the arid terrain is carved by features like Blanco Canyon and the expansive Marion Haws Draw. The map reveals the modern rural infrastructure of the region, where isolated residential corridors such as Serenity Ln and Holly Ln contrast with older, family-named landmarks like Dobie's Way. Hydrological patterns are central to the geography here, with Carrizo Wash and Aguaje Wash moving through the township boundaries of T14N and T13N. These washes, along with Boney Lake and Big Lake, suggest the importance of water management and natural catchments in this high-elevation Arizona environment.
