About this map

Mixon Tank and a complex network of livestock water sources define this high-desert landscape in Coconino County. The terrain is dominated by the dramatic descent into Cataract Canyon, where Cataract Creek carves through the arid plateau. The presence of numerous named catchments, such as Pouquette Tank, Robber Tank, and Rambo Tank, points to the vital importance of water management for ranching and wildlife in this part of Arizona.

Remote roads like Espee Rd and several residential streets including Sunaire Ave and Azure Vis provide access to the area's high points and rim views. The map illustrates a landscape of high-elevation plateaus and deep drainage systems, including the Red Lake Wash and the distinct peaks of the Four Hills. The intricate topography around Chimney Tank and Big Tank reveals the challenging relief of the northern Arizona ranchlands.
