2012 Map of Harbison Tank

About this map

Harbison Cabin anchors this high-desert landscape in Coconino County, surrounded by an intricate network of water catchments essential for ranching and wildlife in this arid region. The map reveals a specific cultural layer in its naming conventions, particularly the "tank" labels used for these water sources. While many bear classic western descriptors like Porcupine Tank, Antelope Tank, or Red Horse Tank, a cluster of names reflects early twentieth-century automotive history, including Old Automobile Tank, New Automobile Tank, and the specific Hupmobile Tank.
