About this map

The Navajo Army Depot dominates this portion of the high country, where the U.S. Government Railroad snakes through a complex of storage facilities and military infrastructure. Centered on the settlement of Bellemont, the landscape transitions from the open expanse of Bellemont Flat to the dense timber of the Kaibab National Forest and Coconino National Forest.

South of the depot, the terrain drops into the rugged Volunteer Canyon and rises toward Woody Mountain, where the Woody Mtn Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the surrounding ridges. The seasonal waters of Rogers Lake provide a significant geographical landmark, surrounded by numerous named tanks and springs like Tappen Spring and Budweiser Tank, which supported the region's ranching and forestry operations, such as Aspen Spring Ranch. Industrial activity is noted by several Cinder Pit locations, while the topography is further defined by peaks like Sliker Hill and Le Barron Hill.
