2011 Map of Higgins Tank

About this map

Higgins Tank and the surrounding high-desert plateau of Coconino County are defined by their arid topography and the critical infrastructure that connects remote landscapes. This 2011 survey illustrates the sparse but vital water management system in a region where livestock and wildlife depend on artificial catchments like Jones Tank. The map is dominated by the intersection of significant transit corridors, specifically Hualapai Hilltop Hwy and Indian Service Road 18, which serve as primary access routes through this expanse. The drainage patterns and topographic contours captured here reflect the intricate network of dry washes that channel seasonal rains across the Coconino plateau.
