About this map

Hay Lake and Daze Lake anchor this high-elevation landscape in Coconino County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of forest service roads and water catchment points. In the early 21st century, this area of the Coconino National Forest served as a critical ranching and wildlife management zone, as evidenced by the high concentration of named tanks such as Chilson Tank, Freight Trail Tank, and the curiously named Fish and Games.

Surface drainage is marked by the Yellow Jacket Draw in the southwest, while more modern residential development or recreation access begins to appear along the southern edge with named routes like Blue Ridge Dr and Timberline Dr. The map also traces established trails like Coconino Trl W, showing how the land transitioned from pure wilderness to a managed resource and recreation area. This survey provides a precise record of water infrastructure and access routes essential for hunters, ranchers, and land managers in the region.
