2018 Map of Maverick

About this map

Maverick sits at the northern edge of this high-elevation landscape, where the topography is defined by an intricate network of cienegas—unique mountain wetlands—and seasonal drainages. The map details a transition from the higher meadows of Odart Cienega and Sheep Cienega down toward the Black River, which forms part of the southern boundary between Apache and Graham counties. This area is characterized by its vital water management features, including Salt House Tank, McDonald Tank, and the descriptively named Battleground Number One Tank. These man-made improvements, alongside natural features like Tonto Lake and Ess Spring, highlight the region's importance for cattle ranching and wildlife in a region otherwise dominated by steep drainages like Pacheta Cr and Milk Cr. Significant landmarks such as Rattlesnake Point and Paddy Butte provide clear navigational markers across the varied terrain.
