2014 Map of New Water Well

About this map

Ranegras Plain dominates the northern reaches of this Arizona landscape, characterized by the wide drainage patterns of Alamo Wash. In the northeast corner, the settlement of Vicksburg serves as a lone outpost along the route of Vicksburg Rd. This 2014 survey records a remote desert environment where water management is critical to land use, evidenced by the eponymous New Water Well in the southwest and Crowder Tank further north. The map documents the stark transition from the open valley floor into the steep, unnamed ridgelines that separate the northern plains from the Alamo Wash basin, providing an essential record of the hydraulic and transportation features in this section of La Paz County.
