About this map

Coconino National Forest lands dominate this part of Yavapai and Coconino Counties, where the high terrain of the Mogollon Plateau meets deep drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the sharp descent into West Clear Creek Canyon and the winding course of W Clear Cr. Transportation history is etched into the topography via the General Crook Trail, a route originally established as a military supply road in the late 19th century.

Modern access is reflected by the Zane Grey Hwy and Toms Creek Rd to the south. Distinctive landmarks such as Buckhorn Mountain, Sugarloaf, and Tule Butte rise above a series of named basins and flats. This 2014 survey documents a complex network of water management features, including Twin Buttes Tank, Windmill Tank, and various livestock tanks essential for ranching and forest management in this arid upland environment.
