1986 Map of Whitlock Peak

About this map

Whitlock Peak stands as the primary landmark in this corner of the high desert, straddling the boundary line between Graham and Greenlee counties. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage features and water catchments vital for ranching and livestock in the arid Southwest. Named canyons like Stewart Canyon, Stocks Canyon, and Poppy Canyon carve through the terrain, leading toward the broad expanse of the Whitlock Valley. Human presence is marked by scattered water infrastructure, including Big Tank, Lost Lake, and various numbered tanks and wells that suggest a history of grazing management. To the southeast, the elevation rises again toward the Bobcat Hills and the prominent Round Mountain. This 1980s survey captures the region's topography before significant modern changes, preserving the locations of remote water sources and cattle-country landmarks like Old Camp Canyon and Sands Draw.
