About this map

Black Canyon and the meandering course of Sandy Wash carve through this portion of Navajo County, defining a landscape of high-desert drainage and livestock management. This 2023 survey documents a network of rural water infrastructure essential to the region's ranching operations, including numerous named reservoirs such as Ward Tank, Chuck Box Tank, and the Tank-in Flat area. The road network is primarily composed of local connectors and ranch-access routes like Well Four Rd and Ranch Rd, which navigate the township boundaries of T14N through T16N.

The topography is characterized by subtle elevation changes and plateaus, with features like Big Round Tank and New Round Tank situated along natural contours. The naming of local thoroughfares—such as Vaquero's End, Old Bridge Rd, and Prairie Dog Way—reflects the modern rural character and historical land use of this Arizona interior. Genealogists and local historians can trace modern property access points through the detailed residential road labels near Buffington Hill Rd in the southern sections.
