About this map

Valle serves as a central point in this high-desert landscape, situated where the open expanse of Antelope Flat meets the rising volcanic topography of the region. The map highlights the essential role of water management in this arid environment, documenting a network of livestock or wildlife catchments such as Suicide Tank, Double Knobs Tank, and Tarantula Tank. These features are critical markers for land use within the Kaibab National Forest, indicating where grazing or wildlife patterns have historically intersected with forest management.

The terrain is defined by distinct elevations, notably the twin peaks of Double Knobs and the namesake Dog Knobs, which rises near the seasonal Dog Knobs Lake. Forest Service roads, including NF-144 and NF-2738, provide the primary access through these townships, tracing the movement of modern travelers through a landscape that remains largely defined by its natural landforms and isolated water sources.
