2021 Map of Chavez Mountain West

About this map

Coconino National Forest defines the southern half of this landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into a complex system of drainage draws and seasonal water catchments. The northern section is dominated by the steep contours of Chavez Mtn and the sweeping Broomy Valley, while the central portion is marked by the presence of Long Lake and Soldier Annex Lake. This area was historically crucial for livestock movement, evidenced by the high density of named tanks such as East Soldier Tank and Bullfight Tank. To the east, Chavez Pass provides a significant geographic break between the mountains, serving as a landmark corridor through the high country. Near the eastern boundary, Lockwood Park sits adjacent to several smaller water features including Lockwood Tank, highlighting the localized infrastructure required for ranching in this arid environment.
