2021 Map of Big Chief Tank

About this map

Aubrey Cliffs dominate the eastern portion of this high-altitude landscape, creating a dramatic vertical break between the expansive Aubrey Valley and the elevated plateaus above. This 2021 topographic survey documents a terrain defined by its water management systems, where isolated tanks serve as the primary landmarks in an arid environment. Named water sources such as Antelope Tank, Big Chief Tank, and Valley Tank reflect the pastoral and ranching requirements of the region. The map also traces the winding courses of Rhodes Canyon and Pine Canyon, showing how these natural drainages have carved into the plateau, providing essential geographical reference points for land management and exploration in Coconino County.
