About this map

Whitlock Valley serves as a central basin in this Graham County landscape, framed by the surrounding peaks and ridgelines. To the east, the Peloncillo Mountains rise toward Ash Peak, while the western edge is defined by the Whitlock Mountains. This desert environment is characterized by its vital water management features, including several named catchment points such as Cedar Tank, Bat Tank, and Soapweed Tank.

The infrastructure here is sparse, centered on Hackberry Rd which navigates the flatlands. Natural drainage patterns are evident through the course of Whitlock Wash and Hot Well Draw, illustrating the hydrological layout of the high desert before it transitions into more complex topography. This survey captures a moment in the modern management of these arid lands, emphasizing the importance of these isolated water sources for ranching or wildlife.
