2021 Map of Manuel Seep

About this map

Manuel Seep and its surrounding drainage systems characterize this arid landscape on the border of Navajo and Apache Counties. The area is defined by a network of ephemeral water sources and drainage features, including the Stink Seep Number One, Stink Seep Number Two, and Quema Tank. These water features were essential for supporting ranching operations in a region marked by extensive draws such as Martinez Draw and Jeff Lake Draw. The map reveals a transition into more organized rural development through its naming of various local thoroughfares. Names like Rockin R Ranch Trl and Gollittar Ranch Rd reflect the heritage of land use in the high desert, while a complex grid of numbered ranch roads facilitates movement across the undulating terrain between Manuel Seep Draw and Cheney Draw.
