1981 Map of Rose Well Camp East

About this map

Rose Well Camp sits in the northwest corner of this Coconino County landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by its vital water management infrastructure. The hydrology of the area is centered around Red Lake, a prominent natural catchment supplemented by Red Lake Tank and the seasonal flow of Rodgers Draw. This 1981 survey documents a remote ranching or range management environment where every localized water source is named, from Furguson Tank to the pragmatically titled End of Line Tank (Water). The presence of Debris Basins near Rodgers Tank suggests a landscape active with erosion control and water conservation efforts, typical of the arid Arizona plateau during the late twentieth century. This sheet is particularly useful for understanding the grazing and water-rights history of the region.
