About this map

Hay Lake and the nearby Daze Lake are the defining water bodies in this corner of Coconino County, surrounded by an extensive network of artificial water catchments. The landscape is characterized by its high-country ranching and conservation history, evident through dozens of named tanks like Judy Tank, Buck Tank, and the Duke Tank Number One series. These features illustrate the vital importance of water management in the arid Arizona uplands.

The Arizona National Scenic Trail winds through the southwestern section, crossing near Yellow Jacket Draw and the upper reaches of Jacks Canyon. Significant infrastructure includes the Chilson Canal in the northwest and State Hwy 87 skirting the southern edge. The map also records localized land names such as Fish and Game and Sha Donde Tank, providing a detailed look at the geographic nomenclature used by forest managers and local residents in the early 21st century.
