About this map

Long Valley and Wingfield anchor this portion of the Coconino Plateau, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage draws and livestock tanks essential to high-country ranching. The map illustrates a transition between the elevated flats of Bald Mesa and the complex canyon systems of Dirtyneck Canyon and Snake Draw. A notable concentration of water infrastructure, including Clints Well and numerous stock tanks like Chilson Mesa Tank and M Diamond Tank, reflects the area's history as a hub for both transit and range management.

Transit through this territory relies on a dense grid of Forest Service roads, such as Lake Mary Rd and FS RD 122, which connect remote crossings like Jones Crossing to established sites like Wells Campground. The topographical detail captures the descent from the wooded heights of Blue Ridge and McCarty Ridge into the lower basins, providing a clear record of the watershed patterns that feed into Kinder Draw and McClure Lake.
