1978 Map of Wild Cow Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Hardscrabble Wash and Brown Wash cut through this arid landscape of Apache County, where the survival of late 1970s ranching operations depended entirely on scattered water sources. This survey documents a critical network of remote infrastructure, including Zuñi Well, Lowery Well, and Burns Well, supporting the isolated Witch Well Ranch in the southwestern corner. The terrain is characterized by a high-desert drainage system feeding into seasonal catchments like Wild Cow Lake. A Radio Facility near the center of the quadrangle serves as a modern landmark amidst a web of Jeep Trails that provided the primary access for land management and local navigation before more significant development reached this portion of the Arizona interior.
