About this map

Hay Hollow Draw and its various tributaries define this arid landscape in eastern Arizona, where water management is the primary marker of human activity. This 1971 survey illustrates a region largely dedicated to ranching, characterized by a series of named water tanks and infrastructure scattered across the high plateau. The presence of Winter Camp and Barbara Well suggests the functional nature of the area's settlement, likely serving as seasonal outposts or operational hubs for local livestock operations.

To the southeast, the dramatic escarpment of Point of the Mountain rises above Black Mesa, overlooking a complex system of drainages including Hatch Draw. Small-scale resource extraction is noted at a Borrow Pit near Culvert Tank, while a network of primitive routes and a Jeep Trail provide the only access through the rugged terrain. Named features such as Jim Dandy Tank and Nick and Nora Tank offer specific points of reference for those researching land use and local heritage in Navajo County.
