About this map

Point of the Mountain rises above a landscape defined by ranching infrastructure and intermittent water management in Navajo County. This area reveals a complex network of private access roads and trails, such as Ledger Ranch Trl and Rockin R Ranch Trl, which service the remote rangelands. The presence of Winter Camp suggests the seasonal nature of historical land use here, while the numerous man-made catchments like Jim Dandy Tank, Nick and Nora Tank, and Crescent Tank highlight the necessity of capturing runoff in this arid environment.

Drainage systems such as Hatch Draw further shape the terrain, dictated by the proximity of high-relief features. Local history is etched into the names of the varied transit routes, including the curiously named Old School Bus Trl and family-named landmarks like Willis Hill Trl. This survey captures the transition of traditional ranching lands into a more subdivided grid of rural development at the start of the twenty-first century.
