2014 Map of Loco Knoll

About this map

The settlement of Escudilla Bonita anchors the northeastern corner of this high-altitude landscape, where the Arizona and New Mexico border meets the rugged terrain of the Apache National Forest. This 2014 survey reveals an arid ranching environment heavily dependent on water management, evidenced by the dense network of tanks and springs scattered across the territory. Landmarks like Loco Knoll and the adjacent Loco Knolls dominate the southern half of the quadrangle, surrounded by essential water sources such as Loco Knoll-Number Three Tank and Thomas Spring. The map documents a complex system of forest roads and residential ways, including Hummingbird and Lapp Ln, facilitating access to remote properties near Coyote Cr. Significant water features like Pratt Lake and the H-V Reservoir highlight the critical infrastructure required for settlement in this part of Apache County.
