About this map

Date Creek winds through this arid landscape of western Arizona, marking a significant drainage route that historically dictated travel and survival in the region. Mapping conducted by the Geological Survey during the late 1960s captures a terrain defined by its water sources and rugged transit routes, spanning the boundary between Yuma Co and Yavapai Co. This remote corner of the state relies on intermittent water features like Bullard Wash and Miller Wash for its geography.

Evidence of desert infrastructure is visible through the placement of Date Creek Well and Round Tank Well, essential landmarks for ranching or prospecting in an area otherwise dominated by the Alamo Road and various Jeep Trails. The network of unimproved roads and trails suggests a landscape primarily accessed for land management or exploration, where every named well served as a critical waypoint for those navigating the transition between these two counties.
