About this map

Valle serves as the primary settlement hub in this high-desert landscape of Coconino County, situated at a crossroads defined by a network of residential and access roads. The geography is characterized by essential water management features, including a vast array of named earthen tanks like Hobble Tank and Big Hocter Tank, which reflect the region's reliance on collected runoff for ranching and forest management.

To the south, the terrain rises into the Hobble Mountains within the Kaibab National Forest, where the landscape becomes increasingly complex. Evidence of seasonal activity is found at Winter Camp, while drainages like Miller Wash and Spring Valley Wash dictate the natural flow of the land. The distribution of features like White Hill and Lonesome Knob Tank provides a clear view of the arid upland environment before modern expansion significantly altered the remote character of the territory.
