1966 Map of Whitlock Cienega

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Whitlock Cienega serves as a focal point in this high desert landscape, located near the Old Stage Station along the eastern edge of the Whitlock Mountains. The geography of the mid-1960s is defined by its water sources, with the broad Whitlock Valley drained by Whitlock Wash and Hot Well Draw. These drainage patterns and intermittent water features like Parks Lake and Hidden Tank were essential for the cattle operations that characterized the region, such as the Delong Ranch found in the southeast corner. The presence of numerous wells, including West Well and Clay Well, underscores the reliance on groundwater for sustaining life and livestock in this arid Arizona corridor. The transition from the steep mountain slopes to the level expanse of Hospital Flat illustrates the typical basin and range topography of the area.
