About this map

The Coconino National Forest defines the western expanse of this high-plateau landscape, where water management is the primary marker of human activity. The map reveals a sophisticated network of water tanks and catchment systems essential for ranching and forest management in this arid environment. Named features such as Big Kelley Tank, Roosevelt Tank, and Hillman Tank are distributed across the terrain, connected by primitive forest roads like Ranch Rd and Buffalo Rd.

Deep canyons carve through the topography, with Grapevine Canyon and Kinnikinick Canyon providing significant relief to the otherwise steady elevation. These geographical features, along with Wallace Canyon in the north, dictate the movement of both water and travel. The inclusion of numerous numbered Forest Service roads, such as NF-126, highlights the area's role as a managed timber and grazing resource during the early twenty-first century.
