1979 Map of Little Tanks

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Little Hurricane Rim dominates the southeastern quadrant of this high-desert landscape in Mohave County, where the topography transition defines a region managed for water resources. The 1970s cattle-ranching infrastructure is evident through a sophisticated network of named ponds and tanks, including Nina Pond and the Coz-Atkin Tank. The presence of these catchment features, along with the Bishop and Burr Reservoir and Walter Shelley Reservoir, suggests a land use dedicated to livestock in an arid climate. Most notable is the drainage system feeding into Salaratus Draw and the prominent landmark of Diamond Butte on the eastern edge. The corridor known as Main Street Valley provides a clear natural passage through the terrain, illustrating how geographical features dictated the routes used by local ranchers and travelers in this part of Arizona.
