1989 Map of Howard Lake

About this map

Spring Valley Wash and the surrounding high desert of Coconino County define this region, where water management is the primary marker of human activity. This late-twentieth-century landscape is dominated by ranching and industrial infrastructure, notably seen in the density of livestock watering sites like Railroad Tank, Selman Tank, and Mule Tank. The presence of the Quivero (Site) suggests a former settlement or waypoint now reclaimed by the mesa, while the Pumping Station near Howard Lake underscores the technological efforts to move water through this arid terrain. Industrial extraction is evident in several locations, with Cinder Pits and a Gravel Pit scattered across the land near Red Hill and the prominent Howard Mesa, indicating the area's role in supplying materials for regional development.
