2021 Map of Big Whisker Well

About this map

Big Whisker Well sits within a wide high-desert landscape in Coconino County, serving as a primary water reference point for the surrounding cattle country and ranching operations. The terrain is defined by the broad elevation of the Kaibito Plateau, which rises toward the prominent relief of White Mesa in the northeast and the isolated height of Wildcat Peak to the south. This area is characterized by an extensive network of local transit corridors, including Indian Rte 21, Indian Rte 215, and Co Rd 211, which facilitate movement across the tribal lands and grazing districts. The 2021 survey demonstrates the persistent importance of named wells and water sources in this arid environment, providing a detailed look at the section lines and township boundaries that organize the territory across the Plateau.
