2018 Map of Hobble Tank

About this map

Kaibab National Forest dominates the southern half of this landscape, where the high-elevation terrain of the Hobble Mountains and White Hill is defined by a critical network of water catchments. These tanks, including the eponymous Hobble Tank and the nearby Hobble Natural Tank, illustrate the historical reliance on collected surface water in this arid reach of Coconino County. The northern section transitions into a structured grid of rural roads such as Waddell Rd and S Rim Ranch Rd, indicating more recent ranching or residential development contrasted against the forest land. The Great Western Trail and Winter Camp suggest a legacy of movement and temporary settlement across this high-country terrain, while various drainages like Spring Valley Wash and Miller Wash reveal the natural paths of seasonal runoff.
