About this map

The Little Colorado River winds through this arid landscape, defining the local geography alongside seasonal drainage systems like Milky Wash and Little Milky Wash. The area is characterized by vast draws and flats, most notably Hay Hollow and Cheney Flat, which reveal the topography of this high desert region. Human activity is marked by livestock-supporting infrastructure, with numerous catchments such as Thompson Tank, Purple Hill Tank, and Knoll Tank scattered across the terrain.

Local ranching history is evidenced by named features like the T-H Ranch and Goat Ranch Draw. The southern portion of the sheet shows a more developed road network including Woodruff Hay Hollow Rd and Riverside Dr, providing access to water features such as Jeff Lake and Jeff Lake Draw. This 2011 survey captures a quiet, rural stretch of Navajo County where the economy remains tied to the movement of water and cattle.
