About this map

The Navajo Army Depot dominates this portion of the Kaibab National Forest, illustrating a mid-century military presence integrated into the northern Arizona landscape. The depot’s infrastructure is clearly delineated, featuring a Hospital, a prominent Stack, and an extensive network of the U.S. Government Railroad that served the facility. The settlement of Bellemont sits along the northern edge, serving as a transit point near the Military Reservation Boundary.

South of the depot, the terrain softens into the broad expanse of Rogers Lake and the high-elevation forests of Woody Ridge. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by numerous livestock tanks and reservoirs, such as Budweiser Tank, Fisher Tank, and Metz Tank. Cultural markers like the Woody Mtn Lookout Tower and Aspen Spring Ranch indicate the region's history of forest service and ranching, while Volunteer Canyon provides a distinct geological break in the upland topography.
