2021 Map of Little Milky Wash

About this map

Goat Ranch and the winding course of the Little Colorado River define this high-desert landscape in northern Arizona. The area is characterized by a complex network of ephemeral drainages and stock tanks essential for ranching in this arid climate, including Milky Wash, Little Milky Wash, and Wild Cow Wash. To the east, the prominent Potter Mesa rises above the surrounding plains, overlooking various named draws such as Sandoval Draw and Cheney Draw. The map records a transition from traditional land use to contemporary developments, noted by a mix of historic ranching sites and modern local roads. Travelers and residents navigate the terrain via descriptively named routes like Wicked Sisters Way and Woodruff Hay Hollow Rd, which connect the scattered water sources and topographical landmarks across the Navajo and Apache county line.
