About this map

The General Crook historic trail route cuts across the high terrain of the Mogollon Plateau, providing a window into the nineteenth-century military and transport corridors of Navajo County. This landscape within the Sitgreaves National Forest is defined by a complex network of ridges and canyons, where water is managed through a system of livestock tanks such as Parker Tank, Z B Tank, and Lower Yarrow Tank. The drainage patterns of Becker Wash and Willow Wash underscore the seasonal hydrology of the region.

Named landmarks like Brinkmeyer Point, East Lincoln Ridge, and Moore Canyon offer reference points for local history researchers and genealogists tracing land use in this part of Arizona. The map details numerous water sources essential for survival in this environment, including Day Spring, Deer Spring, and Shingle Spring. The presence of the Dry Canyon Rd and various forest tracks indicates the modern infrastructure used to navigate the deep incisions of Rhine Canyon and Dry Canyon.
