About this map

Coconino National Forest terrain dominates this 1970s survey, defined by a complex system of water management and natural catchments in the high desert. Significant bodies of water like Long Lake, Soldier Annex Lake, and Tremaine Lake are connected by an intricate network of man-made features including the Soldier Annex Canal, Chilson Ditch, and several unnamed canals.

Further east, the landscape rises toward Chavez Mountain, where the historic Chavez Pass provides a route through the uplands. Evidence of early settlement or seasonal camps is visible at the Chavez Well site. The northern portion of the map is cut by the deep winding turns of Diablo Canyon, which meanders through Broomy Valley and past various stock tanks like Bullfight Tank and Lewis Tank, illustrating the region's historical reliance on seasonal water sources.
