About this map

Coconino National Forest defines the character of this high-desert landscape in northern Arizona, where deep drainages like Anderson Canyon and Kinnikinick Canyon cut through the arid terrain. The map reveals an intricate network of water management features essential for ranching and forest operations, including the Roosevelt Tank, Big Kelley Tank, and the smaller Little Kelley Tank. These livestock tanks and catchment basins are scattered across the township grid, reflecting the region's long-standing reliance on seasonal water storage.

Remote roads such as Buffalo Range Rd provide the primary access to these highlands, weaving between topographical landmarks like Grapevine Canyon and Wallace Canyon. The distribution of features like Easter Tank and Diversion Tank illustrates the carefully planned infrastructure required to support land use in this part of the Mogollon Rim country, where the natural canyons offer both geographical barriers and critical corridors for movement.
