2011 Map of Emmett Hill

About this map

House Rock Wash cuts across this high desert landscape, serving as the primary drainage through a territory defined by canyons and critical water sources. Ranching life centers around scattered outposts like Anderson Ranch and Bean Hole Ranch, where access to water is managed through sites such as Anderson Tank and the Blue Clay Reservoir. The topography transitions from the depths of Rock Canyon and Seegmiller Canyon to the prominent rise of Emmett Hill, a landmark that overlooks the eastern portion of the survey. Transportation is dictated by a handful of established routes, including Alt 89 and the Buffalo Ranch Rd, which provide passage through this arid terrain. For researchers, the map documents a network of named springs like Hancock Spring and Jacobs Pool, highlighting the historical importance of reliable water in the Coconino County backcountry.
