2011 Map of Chevelon Crossing

About this map

Chevelon Creek carves a deep path through this Coconino County landscape, creating a network of steep-walled drainages and vital water access points. Historically significant fords like Chevelon Crossing, Mormon Crossing, and Durfee Crossing mark where early travel routes negotiated the canyon system. The 2011 survey highlights a high concentration of water management features, including several "trick tanks" such as Turkey Trick Tank and Pueblo Trick Tank, which are specialized catchments designed to collect precipitation for local wildlife or livestock in this arid environment.
