2011 Map of Mayhill

About this map

Mayhill serves as the focal point for this mountain landscape, situated at the junction where James Canyon meets the Rio Peñasco valley. The settlement is anchored by the Mayhill Post Office and surrounded by legacy sites of interest to genealogists, including Mountain Acres Cemetery, Mayhill Cemetery, and the curiously named Graveyard Canyon. The map reveals a sophisticated network of water management essential for high-altitude ranching and land use, featuring numerous named catchments such as North Long Tank, Black Dog Tank, and the Parker Reservoir held by Parker Dam. To the south, Miller Flats and White Flat provide level terrain amidst a dense web of drainages like Agua Chiquita Creek and Sawmill Canyon, illustrating the varied topography and the critical role of spring sites like Posey Springs in the arid high country.
