2018 Map of Chavez Mountain East

About this map

Coconino National Forest encompasses the high desert and mountain terrain of this part of northern Arizona, where the management of water is the primary footprint on the land. The presence of numerous named water catchments, such as Horse Pasture Tank, Pyeatt Tank, and Fourteen Inch Tank, indicates a landscape organized around ranching and livestock movement. The topography is defined by significant features like Chavez Mountain and the deep incision of Jacks Canyon, which cuts through the southeastern portion of the sheet. Human infrastructure is limited but purposeful, centered on the Chavez Pass Rd and the Chavez Pass Ditch, which follow natural contours through the high plains. This map is a record of a specialized arid-land economy where family-named landmarks like Pat Duke Tank and Lute Hart Tank serve as vital navigational and resource points in a remote environment.
