About this map

The Gila River corridor defines this portion of the York Valley, where the river’s path is closely followed by the Southern Pacific railroad line. The settlement of York serves as a small hub along the tracks, near infrastructure such as a water tank and a localized Trailer Park. To the north, the junction at Three Way marks a point of transit, situated near the Clifton-Morenci Airport and a Drive-in Theater.

Elevated terrain features like Wire Corral Mesa and Democrat Mesa rise above the valley floor, dissected by numerous drainages including Cottonwood Creek and Greaser Wash. Land use in the mid-1980s shows a mix of recreation and industry, evidenced by the Golf Course and a Gravel Pit. The map also meticulously records numerous ranching-related details, with fine red lines indicating extensive fence and field boundaries throughout the territory.
