About this map

The General Crook Trail traverses the rugged landscape of the Mogollon Plateau on this 2018 survey, marking a corridor of historical transit through the Coconino National Forest. The terrain is characterized by a series of high basins and mesas, including Cedar Flats, Indian Flat, and Maverick Basin, which provide a complex network of drainage for seasonal waters.

Cattle ranching and water management legacies are evident through dozens of named livestock tanks such as Bessie Tank, Sugarloaf Tank, and Buckhorn Tank Number One. These features, along with prominent landmarks like Buckhorn Mountain and Tule Butte, define a landscape where natural topography and human efforts to secure water are inextricably linked. The boundary between Yavapai and Coconino Counties bisects the region, following the high ridges through this remote part of Arizona.
