About this map

H-V Ranch and Towser Ranch anchor this high-desert landscape in eastern Arizona, where water management is the primary driver of human settlement. The territory is defined by a sophisticated network of stock ponds and storage features including Loco Knoll Tank, Ditch Tank, and the significant Becker Reservoir Dam in the northwest. These water sources support a ranching economy that navigates the terrain between the Loco Knolls and Indian Tank Hill.

Ephemeral drainage patterns are centered around Coyote Creek and Pratt Lake, while smaller reliable water points like Chase Spring and Canovas Spring provide essential nodes for local activity. The road network, including names like Cedar and Bear Canyon, follows the natural contours of the basin, connecting the Simpson Ranch to broader forest routes. This map provides a clear look at the infrastructure required for survival and industry in a semi-arid environment.
