About this map

The high volcanic landscape of the Mogollon Plateau dominates this topographic study, where the arid environment is defined by an extensive network of water catchment systems. Dozens of isolated cattle tanks and trick tanks, such as Lava Tank, Lone Tree Tank, and Juniper Trick Tank, are scattered across the terrain to sustain livestock in this high-desert ranching country. The map captures the transition from the protected archaeological lands of Wupatki National Monument to the timber and grazing lands of the Coconino National Forest.

Significant landmarks like Red Hill and the broad expanse of Deadman Flat provide orientation in a region carved by seasonal drainage channels including Hulls Wash and Ball Court Wash. Transportation is limited to a few arterial routes like US Hwy 89 and the SP Mountain Rd, which provide access to this sparsely populated but managed landscape. This 2014 edition preserves the mid-century cadastral boundaries of the Township and Range system, including t26n r7e, illustrating how public and private land management persists in northern Arizona.
