About this map

The Juniper Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in central Arizona, showing a region defined by arid-land water management and transportation corridors in the early 1980s. The map illustrates a reliance on specialized water infrastructure for ranching or resource use, featuring numerous named catchments such as Lindburg Tank, Pet Tank, and Forks in the Road Tank. These points of water access are scattered across the terrain near Black Mountain and Twin Buttes.

Significant industrial and infrastructure development is evident through the network of pipelines crossing the territory. The presence of Slurry Ponds and groundwater sources like Markham Well and Limestone Well suggests a working landscape where hydrology is carefully controlled. Drainage is channeled through natural features like Markham Wash, which cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle.
