About this map

Gray Mountain stands at the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where the arid terrain is defined by vital water management and livestock infrastructure. The map documents a network of stock tanks critical to ranching in the region, including Rimmy Jim Tank, Peterson Tank, and East Spider Tank. These man-made features are scattered across a landscape carved by ephemeral drainages such as Mays Wash and Jackrabbit Wash, which flow toward the south and east.

Black Mesa occupies the central portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex topography of Coconino County. Traces of human activity are evident at the Spider Web Ranch and along the Forest Service Rd, which provides access through the high desert. The presence of specialized infrastructure like the Cement Dam Tank and Upper New Tank highlights the persistent effort to secure water resources in this dry environment during the early 21st century.
