2018 Map of Maverick SW

About this map

Black River snakes through the southern portion of this high-altitude landscape, carving a deep canyon along the border between Apache and Graham counties. Dominating the northern horizon, Maverick Mtn rises above a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage systems including Ten of Diamonds Cr, Paddy Cr, and Dry Cr. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain managed for water resources in an arid environment, evidenced by numerous named tanks such as Whirley Basin Tank Number One, Whirley Basin Tank Number Two, and P S Spring Tank. The map illustrates how natural features like Burnt Corral Spring and Mud Spring are supplemented by man-made catchments like Bee Tank, highlighting the critical importance of water management in this remote section of the Arizona wilderness.
