1981 Map of Hualapai Tank

About this map

Camp No 5 sits at the center of this 1981 Coconino County landscape, where a series of water management features reveal the careful orchestration of resources in a desert environment. An Aqueduct system threads through the terrain, connecting critical infrastructure including Tank No 4 1/2 and Tank No 20. These engineered features, along with several Corrals and Water Tanks, indicate an active ranching or livestock operation during the early 1980s. The natural drainage of the land is defined by Twin Tank Draw and Black Tank Wash, which provides a contrast to the man-made water storage at Hualapai Tank. The map captures a high-elevation plateau just before more modern developments, showing the transition between natural washes and industrial-scale water transport infrastructure.
