About this map

Maverick sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of the Black River and numerous perennial wetlands, or cienegas, dominate the drainage patterns. The network of mountain meadows including Willow Cienega, Paddy Cienega, and Bee Cienega suggests a land historically utilized for seasonal grazing and water management. High points like Paddy Butte and Rattlesnake Point provide topographic relief above the deeply carved drainages of Pacheta Cr and McDonald Cr.

Water infrastructure is evident through features like Tonto Lake, Salt House Tank, and McDonald Tank, which are essential in this arid yet high-country environment. The southern portion of the sheet marks the transition from Apache County into Graham County, with the terrain falling away toward the river. Transportation is defined by a remote network of BIA and county routes, including Bia-70 and CR-8, which connect these isolated mountain outposts.
