2012 Map of Eagle Nest Mountain

About this map

Goldtrap Ranch sits at the heart of this high-plateau landscape, where water management is the primary evidence of human industry. The network of drainage features like Partridge Cr and Monument Wash is punctuated by dozens of man-made catchment tanks, including Big Freeman Tank, Ship Dam Tank, and Limestone Tank. These scattered water sources represent the infrastructure required for cattle ranching in an arid environment, supporting operations connected by primitive routes such as Sevens Ranch Rd and Edwards Ranch Rd. The terrain is dominated by the prominent rise of Eagle Nest Mountain, providing a landmark for the network of Forest Service roads that lace the region. Local nomenclature like Phil McGill Tank and Big Bill Tank suggests a history of individual land use and family legacy tied to specific water rights across the Coconino county territory.
