2011 Map of Mount Triplet

About this map

Mount Triplet and Salt Mountain anchor this high-desert landscape in Graham County, where the topography is defined by seasonal drainages and vital water catchments. The area is marked by a network of drainage washes including Triplet Wash, Coyote Wash, and the extensive Salt Creek system. Given the arid environment, the map meticulously documents essential water sources such as Hackberry Spring, Willow Spring, and Salt Spring, alongside man-made improvements like Triplets Tank and Salt Creek Tank. Access is limited to remote corridors like Triplets Rd and Indian Rte 8, which skirt the edges of Antelope Flats. The southern portion of the quadrangle is bisected by Highway 70, providing a primary artery through this sparsely settled territory. The arrangement of these cattle tanks and springs suggests a landscape primarily utilized for range and transit rather than dense settlement.
