About this map

Leonard Canyon and Wilkins Canyon carve deep drainage patterns through this high-altitude landscape on the boundary of the Coconino National Forest and Sitgreaves National Forest. The map documents a critical water-management network in the arid Mogollon Rim country, featuring dozens of named stock tanks such as Victorine Tank, Second Chance Tank, and Middle Tank.

Remote ranching history is evidenced by the presence of the Hugh Barr Ranch and early creek transit points like Macks Crossing and Victorine Crossing. The intricate topography of Blue Ridge Black Mesa and Porcupine Ridge is punctuated by vital natural water sources including Chavez Spring and Limestone Spring. The historic Soldier Trail winds through the eastern portion of the sheet, tracing a path used by travelers long before the modern roads established by the Leonard District.
