About this map

Coconino National Forest terrain dominates this Yavapai County landscape, defined by a complex network of canyons and mesas where high-desert water sources were historically vital for ranching. The map shows a series of named tanks and springs, including Soda Spring and Lander Spring, supporting operations like the Ward Ranch. The canyon systems of Casner Canyon and Long Canyon wind through the topography, punctuated by prominent landmarks such as Casner Butte and Sacred Mtn.

Transportation patterns are shaped by the physical geography, with Beaver Creek Rd and National Forest 618 Rd providing access to the interior. Small settlements and points of interest like Rimrock, Beaverhead, and Lawrence Crossing at the edge of the forest indicate the sparse but established human presence. Water management is a primary feature of the mapped area, evidenced by the numerous livestock tanks such as Watermelon Tank, Purgatory Tank, and Three Jim Tank scattered across the mesas.
