2011 Map of Many Ghosts Hill

About this map

Many Ghosts Hill rises above the high plateau country of Coconino County, anchoring a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and remote access routes. This area is characterized by vast, open expanses like Low Valley and the distinctively named Wild Horse Trap Mesa, where the terrain and sparse water sources like Alkali Tank shaped the movements of both livestock and early travelers. The intermittent flow of Antelope Creek cuts through the territory, highlighting the importance of drainage patterns in this arid environment. Transportation across the region is facilitated by a network of unimproved tracks, including Forest Service Rd and Indian Rte 201, which serve as vital connectors in an otherwise sparsely populated ranching and grazing district. These features illustrate the enduring character of Arizona's upland ranching landscape into the early twenty-first century.
