2011 Map of Okie Well

About this map

Okie Well serves as a critical watering point in this arid stretch of Maricopa County, highlighting the sparse but vital human and animal infrastructure required in the Arizona desert. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, notably the broad Tenmile Wash which cuts across the northern portion of the quadrangle. In the southwestern corner, the terrain is shaped by Daniels Arroyo, a seasonal watercourse that further illustrates the region's hydraulic character. The network of four-wheel-drive tracks and local roads shown crossing the desert floor indicates the area's continued use for ranching, recreation, or resource management in the early 21st century, where access to isolated landmarks like the well remains essential for navigating the open range.
