2021 Map of Faught Ridge

About this map

Faught Ridge and the high peaks of the White Mountains dominate this 2021 topographic study of the northern Arizona landscape. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages including Beaver Canyon, Cedar Canyon, and Lucy Canyon, which feed into larger watercourses like Corduroy Cr and Middle Cedar Cr. This area in Navajo County is primarily characterized by its remote hydrological network, featuring numerous springs and man-made tanks used for livestock or local management in the high-elevation backcountry. Researchers can trace the network of water sources such as Twentyfour Dart Spring, Bear Playground Spring, and Rattlesnake Spring. The map also documents the industrial and logistical infrastructure of the forest, including Faught Ridge Rd and the Log Road Tank, reflecting the modern management of these traditional ranching and timber lands.
