About this map

Lockwood Canyon and the prominent Mesa Butte define this high-altitude landscape within Coconino County. The area is characterized by a sophisticated system of water management essential for ranching or forestry, featuring numerous named catchments such as Pearl Harbor Tank, Dent and Sayer Tank, and Hibben Tank. These features suggest a history of localized land use where water security was the primary driver of human activity and infrastructure development.

Transportation through this terrain is facilitated by Forest Service roads, specifically FR 301 and FR 2741, which connect the various tanks like Lockwood Tank and Raymond Tank. The map serves as a record of the specialized water infrastructure of the 21st-century American West, where even small features like Little Buckhorn Tank and Lower Buckhorn Tank are meticulously documented for land management and navigation.
