2011 Map of Negro Ed

About this map

Negro Ed and the surrounding high desert of Yavapai County are defined by a complex network of intermittent drainages and critical water sources in an arid landscape. In this 2011 survey, the drainage of Burro Creek dominates the eastern section, while Salt Creek winds through the central terrain, punctuated by named tanks such as Salt Creek Tank and the seasonal Red Lake to the north. These water features, alongside Stone Corral Springs and Pine Flat Spring, suggest the historical importance of the area for ranching and livestock movement, supported by the presence of the Salt Creek Camp. Significant elevation changes are marked by Deer Mountain, Wilder Mesa, and the uniquely named Trot and Holler Canyon, providing a detailed look at the geographic isolation and specialized water management of this Arizona interior.
