About this map

Additional Hill rises above a landscape defined by an intricate network of ephemeral watercourses and vital catchment basins in this part of Coconino County. The drainage patterns are dominated by Lava Wash, Cedar Wash, and Needmore Wash, which carve through the high desert terrain. Human activity is evidenced primarily by a series of named stock tanks and water improvements, such as Eugene Gordy Tank, Michelbach Tank, and Mesa Butte Tank, indicating the area's continued use for ranching and livestock management.

Transportation through this arid environment relies on forest roads like FR 301 and the descriptively named Crazy Hill Rd. The topography is broken by features like Lockwood Canyon, where Needmore Tank sits at a low point to capture seasonal runoff. This survey provides a clear view of the essential water infrastructure required to sustain life and industry in the high Arizona desert, from Tom Tanks to the isolated O'Dell Tank.
