1979 Map of Metzger Tank

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Kaibab National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Coconino County, where the topography is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Coconino Wash and its various tributaries. The 1970s survey reveals a region specialized for ranching and water management in an arid environment, centered on the Gila and Salt River Meridian. Small-scale water infrastructure is the primary marker of human activity, with named livestock tanks such as Metzger Tank, Hole Sappo Tank, and Little Sun Moore Tank scattered across the township and range grid. These features, along with a network of jeep trails, highlight the area's use for grazing within the national forest system. The presence of the Water Tank Well and Little Well underscores the critical importance of reliable water sources for local land use and resource management during this era.
