1980 Map of Rose Well Camp West

About this map

The Hualapai Indian Reservation defines the high plateau of the northwestern corner of this map, giving way to the complex drainage of Crater Canyon to the south. This arid landscape is dominated by essential water infrastructure supporting cattle ranching and remote outposts. Named watering points such as Wheat Tub, Tub No 3, and Tub No 1 are scattered across the terrain, indicating a carefully managed system of tanks and wells. The tiny settlement at Rose Well Camp in the northeast and a lone Corral near the center reflect the sparse human imprint on this territory. The presence of Owen Dam suggests efforts to capture seasonal runoff in a region where water security dictated the location of every camp and stock tank.
