About this map

Valle serves as a primary point of reference in this Coconino County landscape, situated at the junction of Highway 64 and Highway 180. The high plateau terrain is defined by an extensive network of washes and livestock water management systems, including Spring Valley Wash and Red Lake Wash. The density of named tanks, such as Red Hill Tank and Selman Tank, indicates the critical importance of water catchment for the ranching economy in this arid region.

Industrial and transport corridors are visible through features like Railway Rd and the presence of extractive activity at Cinder Pit Rd. The map also captures smaller, more remote points of interest like the settlement of Quivero and the namesake Howard Lake in the southeast. This layout reflects a modern balance between historic cattle ranching infrastructure and the developing transportation arteries leading toward the Grand Canyon.
