2021 Map of Natural Corral

About this map

San Carlos River and the Blue River converge in this high-desert landscape, defining a region characterized by dramatic elevation changes and named landforms. To the north, Cassadore Mtn and the broad plateau of Black Mesa overlook the titular Natural Corral, where local hydrology is marked by scattered livestock or wildlife watering points like Holdup Tank and Agency Tank. The map reveals a complex network of Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) routes, including Bia RD 1100 and Bia RD 920, which provide access through the deep incisions of Dourine Canyon and across the level expanse of Antelope Flats. This 2021 survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by its drainage patterns and mesa topography, with the Gila Co Graham Co boundary line cutting through the river valley southeast of Natural Corral Mesa.
