About this map

The Cedar Ridge settlement serves as a focal point for this 2011 survey of the high desert landscape in Coconino County. Located near the dramatic rise of the Echo Cliffs, the area is defined by its complex drainage network, where several major arroyos including Shinumo Wash, Gray Spot Wash, and Tanner Wash carve through the arid terrain. These seasonal watercourses are vital features of the local geography, converging toward the southwest and reflecting the natural water management of the region.

Evidence of human habitation and land use is sparse but significant, with the presence of McClellan Tanks, Eagle Nest Reservoir, and First Reservoir indicating essential water storage strategies. Infrastructure on the Navajo Nation is documented through Navajo Reservation Rd and Indian Rte 6110, which provide transit across this expansive landscape. Landmarks such as South Red Hill provide clear navigational markers for those studying the physical geography of this corner of Arizona.
