About this map

Clear Creek Reservoir dominates this high-desert landscape south of the Little Colorado River, serving as a vital water resource in a region defined by its drainage systems. The survey detail illustrates a managed water environment where an Aqueduct and Siphon facilitate movement across the arid terrain. Infrastructure for travelers and ranchers is evident, from the Roadside Rest to scattered watering points like Corbet Tank and Fidel Windmill.

Deeply carved drainages like Jacks Canyon wind through the map, highlighting the erosive power of Clear Creek as it approaches its confluence. Industrial activity is marked by various Borrow Pits and a Gravel Pit, suggesting the materials used for local construction and road maintenance during the early 1970s. The border between Coconino Co and Navajo Co cuts diagonally across the northwest corner, providing a clear reference for county-line researchers.
