1978 Map of Prospect Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Hardscrabble Wash dominates this high-desert landscape in Apache County, cutting through the terrain and defining the drainage patterns of the region. This 1970s survey captures a sparse, ranch-oriented environment where life is centered around scarce water sources and cattle management. Notable infrastructure is limited to essential survival and agricultural markers, such as the Corral and a Prospect Spring located near the boundary of T 17 N and T 16 N. The distribution of several Water Tank and Water Tanks sites illustrates the critical importance of moisture management in this arid stretch of Arizona. Researchers can trace the faint network of unimproved roads and trails that connected these remote desert outposts during the mid-to-late 20th century.
