About this map

Badger Spring and a network of ephemeral washes define this corner of Coconino County, where the landscape is marked by the dramatic descent of the Tloi Eechii Cliffs. The map reveals a reliance on traditional water sources and modern improvements, featuring several natural outlets such as Little Mexican Spring, Middle Spring, and Tse To Baah Naali Spring. These are supplemented by catchment features like Badger Tank and Beekid Halani Tank, which were essential for sustaining life and livestock in this arid high-desert environment.

The northern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by Ward Terrace, an elevated plateau overlooking the winding path of Tohaee Wash. Evidence of historic movement across the terrain is found in the Paiute Trail Wash, which follows the natural drainage patterns that have long dictated travel in this region. This survey serves as a detailed record of the indigenous and local place names that designate specific landforms and seasonal watercourses, including Sei Haasgaii Wash and Antelope Wash.
