2018 Map of Little Harpo Canyon

About this map

Cataract Canyon and its tributary, Little Harpo Canyon, carve through this Coconino County landscape, revealing the intricate drainage patterns typical of northern Arizona's high plateaus. The topography is defined by the winding course of Cataract Creek, which transitions through the terrain alongside several man-made water catchments crucial for ranching and livestock in this arid environment. Named features like New Harpo Tank and Little Harpo Tank suggest a history of local land management, where every depression and pond served a vital purpose. The map also captures several smaller livestock tanks such as Jericho Tank and Shilo Tank, scattered across the township and range lines. These features illustrate the essential infrastructure required for survival and industry in a region where natural water sources like Red Dike Pond are few and far between.
