2014 Map of Findlay Tank

About this map

Kaibab National Forest dominates the southeastern quadrant of this landscape, where the high desert is defined by a complex system of drainages and seasonal water sources. The map highlights the essential role of water management in this arid environment, showing man-made infrastructure like Meeks Reservoir, Findlay Tank, and Deer Trail Tank. These features represent the critical points of human and livestock subsistence in a region where the deep incisions of Kanab Cr and Burnt Canyon carve through the plateau. Travel through this remote terrain is anchored by Mt Trumbull Rd in the northwest, providing access to landmarks such as Bulrush Point and Water Canyon. This 2014 survey documents the enduring physical challenges of the Arizona strip, where topographic prominence like Burnt Canyon Point serves as a primary navigational marker across the vast public lands.
