2011 Map of Million Dollar Tank

About this map

Lazy J Ranch and the water sources that support it define this corner of Cochise County, where modern land use continues to rely on vital catchments like Million Dollar Tank and Mormon Tanks. The landscape is etched by seasonal watercourses, with Cottonwood Creek and Sycamore Creek draining the high ground while Hay Hollow Wash and Black Draw mark the lower elevations. Movement through this arid region is channeled along historical paths including the Geronimo Trl and Snare Ranch Rd. This map reveals the essential relationship between geography and cattle ranching, where the placement of tanks and trails follows the contours of the land near Wildcat Hill. The intersection of Guadalupe Canyon Rd at the southern edge highlights the thin network of infrastructure that connects these remote ranching outposts to the wider region.
