About this map

Anderson Mesa dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Coconino National Forest, defined by a network of seasonal lakes and essential water tanks used for ranching and wildlife. The 1970 field check reveals a terrain where water management was paramount, evidenced by numerous named improvements like Gonzalo Tank No 1, Anderson Tank No 2, and Antelope Tank. These man-made features surround larger natural bodies of water such as Kinnikinick Lake and Long Lake.

Surface activity is concentrated around these water sources, connected by an intricate web of jeep trails and footpaths rather than paved roads. Significant landmarks include the volcanic profile of Pine Hill and a small Cinder Pit near Pine Lake, indicating the region's geological history. The presence of Kinnikinick Spring and Morton Lake highlights the specific water pockets that supported movement across the mesa's canyons, including Kinnikinick Canyon and Anderson Canyon.
