1988 Map of Higgins Tank

About this map

The eastern boundary of the Havasupai Indian Reservation marks the northeastern corner of this high-plateau landscape in Coconino County. Mapping of this area in the late 1980s reveals a terrain defined by its water-management features rather than human settlement. Essential livestock or wildlife resources like Higgins Tank and Jones Tank serve as primary landmarks in a region largely devoid of permanent structures. A long Trans Line corridor cuts through the center of the sheet, providing a modern utility contrast to the otherwise undisturbed topography. The absence of named roads and towns underscores the secluded character of this portion of northern Arizona, where simple Water Tank labels designate the most critical infrastructure for land use and survival.
