The Gila River corridor defines this arid Arizona landscape, weaving through a valley bounded by the Wellton Mesa and the jagged heights of the Baker Peaks. This 2018 survey documents a region where water management is central to the community's existence, as seen in the extensive network of irrigation infrastructure including the Wellton Canal Rd and Mohawk Canal Rd. The settlement of Wellton serves as the primary hub, supported by smaller locales such as Asher and Noah situated along the transport lines north of the Mohawk Valley. Topographic landmarks like Antelope Hill and Radar Hill provide distinct vertical relief against the wide agricultural and desert flats. The map captures the modern grid of county roads, such as E Co 10 1/2 St and Dike Rd, which facilitate movement between the river and the surrounding mesas.
