About this map

Munds Draw and the surrounding high desert of Yavapai County are defined by a sophisticated network of water management features essential for ranching and survival. The landscape is dotted with named tanks, including China Dam Tank, Honey Bee Tank, and the historically suggestive Narrow Gauge Tank, reflecting the logistical challenges of this arid region. The presence of CCC Canyon points to the legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps in shaping the local infrastructure.

Navigational landmarks like Little Black Mesa and Bakers Pass provide orientation across a terrain marked by deep canyons and flat mesas. The drainage systems are punctuated by vital water sources such as Section House Spring and Elderberry Spring, which likely served as crucial stops along the early routes through the territory. Transportation is anchored by the Jerome-Perkinsville Rd, connecting the remote cattle country to the mining and ranching hubs of northern Arizona.
