2018 Map of Black Tank

About this map

Black Tank and several other essential water catchments define this 2018 survey of the high plateau country in Coconino County. The landscape is characterized by its drainage patterns, notably Farm Dam Draw, which cuts across the northern half of the quadrangle. As a modern US Topo product, it provides a precise look at the land division system, showing the corners of t27n r4w and t26n r4w in an area where the topography rises sharply toward the eastern edge at Long Point. The distribution of scattered water sources like Little Sullivan Tank and Nelson Tank suggests a landscape managed for livestock or wildlife in a region where surface water is seasonal and scarce.
