2021 Map of Big Bud Tank

About this map

Big Bud Tank sits at the heart of this high-altitude landscape in Northern Arizona, where the terrain is defined by complex contour lines and the essential water management of the desert West. The presence of Murphy Johnson Tank to the north and the deep channel of Rodgers Draw in the east highlights the region's reliance on these engineered features to sustain activity across the dry plateaus of Coconino County. Mapping of the Public Land Survey System shows the intersection of several townships, including t26n r5w and t25n r5w, illustrating the geometric parceling of this vast open range. The drainage patterns leading toward Rodgers Draw reveal the natural flow of seasonal water in a region where isolated tanks are the primary landmarks for navigation and land use.
