2018 Map of Leonard Canyon

About this map

Coconino National Forest and Sitgreaves National Forest meet along the dramatic incisions of the Mogollon Plateau. This high-country landscape is defined by the deep, winding course of Leonard Canyon, which serves as a natural boundary between the two forest jurisdictions. Historically significant travel and water management patterns are visible through labels like Victorine Crossing and a network of livestock water features including Victorine Tank, Morgan Tank, and Buckhorn Tank. The topography is marked by prominent high points such as Leonard Point and long, flat-topped divides like Cave Ridge and Cart Ridge. These features illustrate the land's transition from the high plateau into a series of complex drainage systems, including Limestone Canyon and Moqui Draw. Isolated water sources like Chavez Spring and Spaulding Spring indicate the critical points of hydration in this arid upland environment.
