About this map

Babbitt Wash and the surrounding drainage network characterize this Coconino County landscape, where water management is central to the land's utility. The area is defined by a system of named livestock tanks and dams, such as Golden Dam Tank, Sinkhole Tank, and Lute Hart Tank, reflecting the ranching heritage of northern Arizona. These features are distributed across a topography carved by Elliott Canyon, Wagon Box Draw, and Anderson Canyon.

Human presence is marked by primitive routes like Buffalo Range Rd, which connects remote catchments including Wallace Tank and Charlebois Tanks. The map reveals the intricate surveying of the Public Land Survey System, dividing the territory into Townships 19 and 20 North. This modern 2021 study documents the persistence of these named water holes and family-named landmarks like Chimney Tank and Yaeger Canyon in an arid, high-desert environment.
