About this map

House Rock Valley dominates this 1985 landscape, a broad expanse situated between the high plateaus of northern Arizona. The mapping reveals a sparse but critical water management network essential for ranching and wildlife in this arid environment, marked by the eponymous Buffalo Tanks and Anderson Tank. The topography is defined by significant drainage systems such as North Canyon Wash and Seegmiller Canyon that cut through the terrain toward the south and east.

Protective boundaries are clearly delineated, showing the northern reaches of Grand Canyon National Park and the rugged transition into the Kaibab National Forest. Features like Pleasant Valley and the Outlet provide insight into the natural flow of the land before it drops into deep corridors like Bedrock Canyon. This provisional survey serves as a precise record of the remote intersections between public lands and seasonal water sources in Coconino County.
