2018 Map of Campbell Francis Wash

About this map

Lava Point and The Point anchor this arid landscape within Coconino County, defined by a network of seasonal drainage and cattle tanks. The terrain is dominated by high-plateau hydrology, where Needmore Wash, Lava Wash, and Cedar Wash converge toward the primary Campbell Francis Wash. This 2018 survey reveals the infrastructure of modern ranching in the American Southwest, centered on the Babbit Ranch Rd corridor. Named water catchments such as Large Whiskers Tank, Eugene Gordy Tank, and Wheelbarrow Tank are scattered across the township grids, illustrating the vital importance of water management in this sparsely populated environment. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of natural volcanic landmarks and the human effort to sustain livestock in the high desert.
