About this map

Whitlock Valley defines the high-desert landscape of Graham County in this 2011 survey, showing a region shaped by ephemeral drainage systems and remote ranching outposts. The namesake Whitlock Cienega and the marshy basin of Parks Lake represent vital water sources in this arid corridor. The terrain is characterized by broad alluvial fans and washes, most notably Whitlock Wash, which cuts a significant path through the valley floor toward Hot Well Draw.

Human activity is sparse and centered on long-established land markers like Delong Ranch and the open expanse of Hospital Flat. Infrastructure is limited to essential connectors like Hackberry Rd, illustrating the persistence of rural land use patterns in southeastern Arizona. For those tracing geography or local landholdings, the map identifies specific water features such as Hidden Tank and the seasonal catchment of Sands Draw.
