About this map

Stinking Springs Mtn serves as the central high point in this 1982 survey of the high desert landscape of eastern Arizona. The map details a vital network of water management features essential for ranching and survival in this arid environment, ranging from Grassy Knoll Tank in the north to Richey Tank and Indian Tank further south. These catchments, along with named springs like Seven Springs, provide a clear picture of how the land was utilized for livestock during the late twentieth century.

The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the Zuni River, which snakes through Hunt Valley between North Mtn and South Mtn. Evidence of more modern utility is seen in the placement of the West Zuni Windmill and East Zuni Windmill near the riverbanks. The survey also notes distinctive natural features such as the Falls along the river and the prominent Tomahawk Tank, which are key reference points for local history and topography.
