2011 Map of Howard Lake

About this map

Spring Valley Wash and Red Lake Wash carve a network of drainage channels across this high-desert landscape in Coconino County. The settlement pattern is defined by the small community of Quivero and a systematic grid of residential streets to the north in Four Hills, including roads like Bonnie Brae and Skyview Dr. The reliance on surface water management in this arid environment is evident from the numerous catchment systems scattered throughout the quadrangle, such as Railroad Tank, Mud Tank, and Twentyeight Tank. Toward the southern end of the map, the namesake Howard Lake sits near the base of La Mesa, providing a central reference point for the surrounding cattle tanks and ranching infrastructure like Eighteen Tank and Selman Tank.
