About this map

The Yuma Co Yavapai Co boundary line divides this arid landscape of western Arizona as it appeared in the late 1960s. The topography is defined by the extensive drainage systems of Date Creek and Bullard Wash, which weave through the terrain alongside Miller Wash. In an environment where water sources were critical for ranching and travel, the survey identifies several points of infrastructure, including the Date Creek Well, Round Tank Well, and a simple Well further east. Transportation across this desert expanse was limited to rugged paths such as the Alamo Road and a network of unnamed Jeep Trails. This survey provides a record of the remote back-country before modern development changed the accessibility of the borderlands between Yuma and Yavapai counties.
