About this map

Gray Mountain stands as the primary settlement in this high-desert region of Coconino County, anchored by the route of Us-89 which traverses the western edge of the quadrangle. The landscape is defined by the significant elevations of Black Mesa and White Mesa, surrounded by a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems and water catchment features essential for ranching and survival in the arid environment.

A concentrated infrastructure of named tanks, such as Rimmy Jim Tank, Hillside Tank, and Cement Dam Tank, suggests a history of livestock management and water engineering. These features are linked by a web of local tracks like New Tank Rd and Bar Doney-Tank-Rd, which follow natural corridors created by Mays Wash and Jackrabbit Wash. This survey reflects the modern intersection of transit and traditional land use, where major highways meet remote ranching improvements.
