2014 Map of Negro Ed

About this map

Negro Ed lies at the heart of this high-desert landscape along the boundary of Mohave and Yavapai counties. The area is defined by a critical network of water sources essential for survival and livestock in this arid climate, including Stone Corral Springs, Black Willow Spring, and Negro Ed Spring. The terrain transitions from the open flats of the Mojave Desert into prominent geological formations like the Granite Ridges and the isolated heights of Deer Mountain. A series of tanks, such as Deer Mountain Tank and Butte Tank, indicate the management of seasonal runoff. The complex topography is further marked by deep cuts like Pinky Canyon and the evocatively named Trot and Holler Canyon, which drain toward the winding course of Burro Creek. This survey captures the remote character of the Arizona backcountry where ranching infrastructure and natural springs dictate the movement of people and animals.
