About this map

The Whitlock Mountains rise along the western edge of this arid Graham County landscape, giving way to the broad drainage systems of Whitlock Valley. This 2014 survey documents a classic high-desert terrain where water management is the primary marker of human presence. The distribution of small-scale infrastructure like Cedar Tank, Soapweed Tank, and Mud Hole Tank underscores the area's ongoing use for ranching and livestock in a territory defined by seasonal water flow.

Erosion patterns are clearly traced through Whitlock Wash, which cuts a path toward the southern flats, while the eastern horizon is dominated by the foothills of the Peloncillo Mountains and the distinctive height of Ash Peak. Notable features such as Hot Well Draw reflect the local geological character, providing essential context for those studying land use and water rights in this corner of the Arizona desert.
