2021 Map of Tule Tubs

About this map

Nantac Rim and the Natanes Plateau dominate this high-desert landscape in Graham County, where elevation drops sharply into the expansive Ash Flat to the south. This remote Arizona terrain is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and man-made water catchments essential for ranching and livestock in an arid environment. Named water sources like Hooker Gap Charco, Arsenic Tank, and Tule Springs punctuate the landscape, serving as vital landmarks across the open range. The topography is further etched by deep draws and creeks, including Beef Corral Draw and Little Rocky Cr, while the namesake Tule Tubs sit beneath the towering cliffs of the plateau. Co RD 8 provides the primary traverse through this territory, tracing the transition from high mountain rims to the flat basin floor.
