2011 Map of Black Tank

About this map

Black Tank Camp stands as a primary point of human presence in this high-desert portion of Coconino County, surrounded by a complex network of ephemeral drainage and water management sites. The landscape is defined by its arid character, where the topography necessitates scattered catchments like Little Sullivan Tank, Nelson Tank, and the namesake Black Tank itself. These water sources are vital markers for ranching or land management in an area dominated by features such as Long Point and the winding course of Farm Dam Draw. The map reveals a remote environment where survival and navigation are dictated by the few named water locations and the subtle changes in elevation across the plateau.
