About this map

Mesa Redonda rises as the dominant landform in this high-desert portion of Navajo County, defining a landscape shaped by drainage systems and ranching infrastructure. Arid watercourses including Hatch Draw, Hay Hollow Draw, and Concho Flat Wash carve the terrain, while human intervention is visible through the Canal and seasonal water catchments like Mexican Lake.

The presence of Guys Well and North Gate Well underscores the importance of water management in this region during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Ranching activity is further evidenced by various corrals and fences scattered across Millet Swale. This survey, updated with 1980s aerial data, provides a detailed record of the unimproved roads and jeep trails that provided the primary access to these remote reaches of northern Arizona.
