2018 Map of Emmett Hill

About this map

Vermilion Cliffs dominate the northeastern corner of this landscape, rising sharply from the floor of House Rock Valley. This area of Coconino County is defined by its critical water sources, with isolated points like Jacobs Pool, Hancock Spring, and Sunset Spring serving as vital landmarks in an arid environment. The terrain transitions from the high Paria Plateau and the Sand Hills down through narrow passages like Sand Hill Crack toward the drainage of House Rock Wash. Evidence of earlier land use is found in the network of ranch roads, including Buffalo Ranch Rd, which crosses the valley floor near Rock Canyon and Seegmiller Canyon. The map provides a detailed view of the topography surrounding Emmett Hill, where Alt 89 serves as the primary corridor through this high desert region.
