About this map

Coconino National Forest defines the topography of this high-plateau region, where the drainage patterns of Jacks Canyon and Yellow Jacket Draw cut through the landscape. The area is characterized by an extensive network of water management features, including Hay Lake and Daze Lake, alongside numerous named tanks such as Duke Tank No 1, Melatone Tank, and Fisher Tank No 1. These features highlight the importance of water storage in a landscape that transitions between open flats and rugged canyon systems.

Transportation and utility are represented by a centrally located Landing Strip and a web of rugged routes marked as Jeep Trail. Evidence of local material extraction is visible at the Borrow Pit near Woods Tank. The naming conventions of the water catchments, like Sha Donde Tank and Baecom Tank, reflect the specialized land use and cattle-ranching heritage within the forest boundaries during this era of federal land management.
