2012 Map of Metzger Tank

About this map

Coconino Wash meanders across this high-desert landscape in northern Arizona, serving as the primary drainage through a territory defined by its network of water collection points. These named water features, essential for local land use and livestock in a semi-arid environment, include the namesake Metzger Tank and family-named landmarks like Little Sam Moore Tank and Little Tom Moore Tank. In the southwestern portion of the quadrangle, the presence of the South Grand Canyon Sanitation District near Banks Tank indicates modern infrastructure management within this otherwise sparse terrain. Access is provided primarily through forest roads, notably FS RD 2612, which skirts the eastern edge near Curry Tank and Bailey Tank. The map records a functional landscape where water management and resource coordination are the primary drivers of human presence.
