About this map

Dog Point and the surrounding high plateau of Coconino County are defined by a network of drainage systems and isolated water sources characteristic of this arid Arizona landscape. The 2012 topography reveals the intricate descent of Upper Tater Canyon and the winding course of N Canyon Wash. Land management and ranching history are evident through named water improvements such as Dog Canyon Tank and Mackelprang Tank, which provide critical resources in a region where surface water is otherwise limited to seasonal springs like Crystal Spring and North Canyon Spring.

Notable geological features including the Marble Sinkhole and the sweeping Dog Canyon Apron provide markers for navigating the plateau. To the east, the terrain drops off significantly, offering perspectives from East Rim Viewpoint and Marble Viewpoint. A network of Forest Service roads, including FS RD 213 and the E Side Game Rd, provides the primary access across this expansive, high-elevation territory.
