About this map

San Francisco Wash and Babbitt Wash define the drainage patterns of this Coconino County landscape, where the high desert is etched by a series of significant canyons. The terrain transitions from the deep cut of Canyon Diablo in the southeast toward the northern reaches of Locust Canyon and Padre Canyon. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by its topography rather than dense settlement, showing how modern infrastructure like Indian Rte 6910 and the interstate corridor navigate the natural breaks in the land.

Water management is localized in this arid environment, evidenced by features such as Reservation Tank. The map provides a precise look at the township and range divisions, illustrating the grid of the Public Land Survey System as it overlays natural features like Youngs Canyon and Yellow Jacket Canyon. This document is a clear record of how transit and ranching or reservation boundaries interact with the prominent geological features of the Arizona plateau.
