2014 Map of Crater Canyon

About this map

Aubrey Valley dominates this high-desert plateau region within Coconino County, characterized by its wide basins and dramatic elevation changes. The rugged eastern edge of the valley is defined by the Aubrey Cliffs, a massive escarpment that transitions the landscape toward the Crater Canyon and its associated drainage systems. This 2014 survey documents a territory defined by specialized water management, where artificial catchments like Jake McCain Tank and Trible Tank are essential landmarks for land use. Transportation across this remote area relies on Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, specifically Bia-18 and Bia-20, which provide the primary access through the townships of t27n r8w and t27n r7w. The map preserves the precise locations of these water sources and the topography of the cliffs before modern development could further alter the landscape.
