About this map

Klondyke serves as the central settlement in this corner of Graham County, situated where the Aravaipa Creek meets the wide drainage of Klondyke Wash. The landscape is defined by the dramatic ascent into the Santa Teresa Mountains and the protected lands of the Santa Teresa Wilderness. This area, once a remote outpost of ranching and mining life, preserves its character through scattered landmarks like the Klondyke Cem and the small Av Ranch Airport.

Evidence of the region's reliance on managed water in an arid environment is visible through numerous named tanks such as Little Wonder Tank and Salty Tank. The topography is deeply incised by complex canyon systems, including Aravaipa Canyon and Fourmile Canyon, which dictate the path of local routes like the Flying Diamond Ranch Rd. This survey provides a modern view of a traditional Arizona ranching corridor as it interfaces with the high desert wilderness of the Coronado National Forest.
