About this map

Dry Lake anchors the southern boundary of this high-plateau landscape, where the drainage systems and livestock infrastructure of Navajo County are clearly defined. The terrain is shaped by a series of north-to-south drainages including Porter Tank Draw and Willow Patch Draw, which lead toward the distinct geologic formation of the Pink Cliffs. This 2014 survey documents the continued reliance on scattered water catchments such as Chamise Tank, Big Oil Well Tank, and Small Oil Well Tank, illustrating the essential resource management required in this arid region.

Transportation and utility networks are sparse, concentrated primarily along the southern edge with Duck Lake Rd and the Power Line Rd. The map reveals the intricate topography of the northern canyons, specifically the descent into Pour Off Canyon and Lost Tank Canyon. These features, along with names like Bell Cow Canyon, suggest a long history of cattle ranching and land use that persists into the modern era.
