2018 Map of Brookbank Point

About this map

The Mogollon Rim forms a dramatic topographical boundary across this portion of the Sitgreaves National Forest, dictating the flow of numerous seasonal drainages and the placement of early routes. This 2018 survey documents a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, where the historic General Crook trail route winds through the canyons. Notable local landmarks include the Baca Cem and Baca Lake, reflecting the legacy of early ranching families in Navajo County. The complex drainage network is evidenced by the convergence of the West Fork Bull Flat Canyon, Middle Fork Bull Flat Canyon, and East Fork Bull Flat Canyon, while isolated water sources like Turkey Tank and Jersey Tank illustrate the vital water management infrastructure required in this high-country environment. Other significant features like Brookbank Point and Hangmans Draw provide specific geographic anchors for researchers studying this part of Arizona.
