About this map

Tatahatso Wash and the ephemeral drainage of Bekihatso Wash carve through this high desert landscape in Coconino County. The map reveals a series of water management features essential for this arid environment, including the primary Blue Moon Reservoir, the central Big Reservoir, and the smaller Curve Reservoir. These catchments, alongside Horse Reservoir, speak to the critical importance of seasonal water storage for local use in this portion of northern Arizona.

The terrain is defined by dramatic landforms such as the Yon Dot Mountains in the southeast and the distinctive Tooth Rock in the northeast corner. This 2014 survey captures the infrastructure of the area, notably the Bia-6120 road which provides the primary access route through these uplands. From the flat expanse of Blue Moon Bench to the deeply etched washes, the map provides a clear record of how the landscape is utilized and navigated.
