About this map

Voigt Ranch and the remote outpost of The Aztec define this corner of Apache County during the early 1970s. The landscape is characterized by its high-country ranching infrastructure, where water sources like Stamps Spring and various water tanks were critical to sustaining livestock across the arid terrain. A network of primitive transit routes, including a prominent Jeep Trail, connects these working sites through the high plateaus.

The drainage of Coyote Creek cuts through the southwestern portion of the sheet, providing a natural focus for the placement of a Corral and larger Corrals. These features, mapped during a 1971 field check, reflect the enduring grazing economy of the Arizona-Apache region before further modernization. The map detail highlights the sparse but essential landmarks used by local ranchers to navigate the vast sections of Range 29 and 30 East.
