1990 Map of Big Pug Tank

About this map

Sitgreaves National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Navajo County, characterized by a complex network of seasonal washes and livestock watering tanks. The drainage patterns of Day Wash and Cottonwood Wash carve through the terrain, supporting localized water sources like Big Pug Tank and Little Pug Tank. Evidence of ranching and early infrastructure appears in the form of a Corral near Long Hollow Tank and a Pipeline traversing the northern section. Notable natural features such as Walker Lake and Day Spring provide a contrast to the man-made improvements scattered across the forest, including Holy Oak Tank and the namesake Big Pug Tank. The southern portion of the map transition into draws, including Town Draw and Perkins Draw, near the settlement area of Clay Springs.
