About this map

Point of the Mountain rises above the arid landscape of Navajo County, Arizona, anchoring a territory defined by complex drainage systems and isolated outposts. In the early 1970s, this region relied heavily on an network of water catchment features, including uniquely named sites like Nick and Nora Tank, Jim Dandy Tank, and Crescent Tank. These water sources supported livestock and local ranching operations in a terrain carved by Hay Hollow Draw and West Hay Hollow Draw. The presence of Winter Camp and Rock Tank suggests the seasonal rhythms of land use in this part of the Southwest, while the elevation of Black Mesa dominates the southeastern quadrant. This survey reflects the remote ranching infrastructure of the era, connected by narrow tracks and jeep trails through the high desert scrub.
