2011 Map of McCauley Sinks

About this map

Chevelon Creek and its complex network of drainage canyons define this high-desert landscape in northern Arizona. The topography is marked by significant geological depressions known as the McCauley Sinks, located near the intersection of several local ranching and access roads including Pinto Rd, Colt Rd, and Lasso Rd. In the northeast, the McCamant Hills rise above the drainage of Willy Canyon and Babbitt Tank Canyon, reflecting the area's history of cattle ranching and water management, evidenced by features like Babbitt Tank. The map also identifies the Second Mesa Campground and distinctive terrain features such as Gods Pocket and the Red Hills, which highlight the intricate erosional patterns of the Colorado Plateau in this part of Navajo and Coconino counties.
