About this map

Ninetysix Hills dominate the northern landscape of this region, where the arid environment is defined by a complex drainage system essential for survival in the high desert. The map reveals a network of intermittent water sources, such as Buck Tank and Bee Tank, which are critical landmarks for both ranching operations and navigation. These catchment points are distributed across a topography carved by prominent seasonal watercourses, including Tom Mix Wash and Brady Wash.

Rising above the surrounding flats, Coyote Peak provides a central reference point in an area otherwise characterized by vast stretches of open land and long-standing thoroughfares like Freeman Rd. The arrangement of these water tanks and named washes reflects the historic necessity of managing water resources in the Arizona desert, providing a detailed look at the local geography that sustained life and industry before modern development.
