2014 Map of Happy Jack

About this map

Happy Jack serves as the primary settlement hub for this high-altitude landscape within the Coconino National Forest. The 2014 survey reveals an intricate system of water management essential for forest health and livestock, characterized by numerous named tanks and springs. Prominent landmarks such as Buck Mountain and Hollingshead Mtn define the topography, while wide grazing or clearing areas like Casner Park and Mahan Park suggest the land's multi-use history. The infrastructure for resource extraction is evident in features like Borrow Pit Number Two Tank and Borrow Pit Number Three Tank, alongside a network of forest service routes including Fire Rd 229. Geologists and researchers can trace the drainage patterns through Brady Canyon and the Sheep Tank Draw, which weave between distinct volcanic-named peaks like Landmark Mtn.
