2018 Map of O'Neill Pass

About this map

O'Neill Pass sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Yavapai County, where the Date Creek Mountains dominate the horizon. This 2018 survey documents a remote ranching and transit corridor, defined by seasonal water sources and rugged drainages. The mapping of artificial catchments such as Nelson Tank, Barnett Tank, and Spring Tank indicates the vital importance of water management for livestock in this arid environment. The northern reaches are carved by the Date Creek and its southern fork, while the western edge is defined by the steep relief of Cottonwood Canyon. Transport is largely limited to unpaved routes like Hillside Rd, which skirts the northeastern corner. This map provides a precise look at the township and range grid system (T11N, T10N, T9N) as it overlays the natural topography of Martin Cr and the intermittent Longort Spring.
