About this map

Frazier Wells serves as a central landmark in this high-elevation region of Coconino County, where the landscape is defined by its vital water management features. The area's reliance on collected water is evident through numerous tanks, including Youth Camp Tank, Thornton Tank, and Sage Tank, which support the livestock and wildlife of the high plateaus. These water sources are strategically positioned near Aubrey Valley and Laguna Valley, where the terrain begins its gradual descent.

Transportation through this high desert country follows established corridors like Frazier Wells Rd and Pine Springs Rd, providing access to the scattered springs of the region. Significant drainage patterns are marked by Thornton Wash and Albers Wash to the northeast, while the western portion of the map is punctuated by the notable Upper Pine Spring and Pine Spring. The presence of these named springs and tanks illustrates the historical and contemporary importance of water rights and management in this part of Arizona.
