About this map

Kaibab National Forest dominates this Coconino County landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by volcanic peaks and deep water-management infrastructure. The area is anchored by prominent landmarks such as Ebert Mtn, Slate Mtn, and the distinctive Mesa Butte, while the drainage of Miller Wash cuts through the southern reaches. Livestock ranching in this arid environment necessitated an extensive network of tanks, including the uniquely named Pearl Harbor Tank and Tarantula Tank, to sustain herds across the broad expanse of Antelope Flat.

Evidence of early 20th-century ranching operations is visible through several established homesteads, such as the Dent and Sayer Ranch, Nagiller Ranch, and Tub Ranch. These remote outposts were linked by early roads and a significant Pipeline corridor, reflecting the critical importance of water and transport in the development of the Arizona high country. Industrial activity is also noted at the Cinder Pit near the base of Red Mtn, pointing to the region's geological utility.
