2011 Map of Big Whisker Well

About this map

Big Whisker Well serves as a primary reference point in this arid stretch of Coconino County, characterized by a sparse network of roads that define movement through the landscape. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a region dominated by infrastructure such as Indian Rte-21 and Indian Rte-211, which connect the remote terrain to surrounding Navajo Nation lands. The topography is anchored by Wildcat Peak in the south, while several secondary routes like Indian Rte-6260 and Indian Rte-213 branch across the high desert. The arrangement of these roads suggests a landscape shaped by pastoral use and traditional movement patterns, where reliable water sources and high-ground landmarks provide the essential framework for navigation.
