2018 Map of Oak Creek Ranch

About this map

Grasshopper and the Oak Creek Ranch stand as primary settlements in this 2018 survey of Navajo County, which details an intricate network of desert water management systems and remote canyon topography. The landscape is defined by its numerous watering tanks and natural drainages, including the prominent Gentry Canyon and Mountain Lion Canyon. Historically significant labels like Cliff Dwelling Tank suggest the long-term human presence in the area, while features such as Horse Camp Mesa and Brush Mtn highlight the local reliance on the varied plateau and peak terrain. The presence of several tribal routes, notably Indian Rte 12 and Indian Rte 33, underscores the importance of regional transportation through the high desert. This map captures a specific distribution of water resources, from the One Mile Tanks to the Grasshopper Tank Number Two, essential for ranching and survival in this environment.
