About this map

Moccasin stands as a focal point of settlement in this northern Arizona landscape, situated near the head of Moccasin Canyon and the winding S Moccasin Wash. The geography is defined by significant elevation changes, with the Vermilion Cliffs and Moccasin Mountains dominating the central and eastern portions of the quadrangle. This area is a critical drainage basin where numerous water sources like Moccasin Spring, Upper Moccasin Springs, and Bull Pasture Spring emerge from the high desert terrain.

Roadways such as Maccasin Peak Rd and Parashont Point Rd provide access through the canyons, connecting local landmarks like Parashont Point and Lone Butte. The distribution of these springs and the layout of cattle-related features like Bull Pasture indicate a landscape long utilized for ranching, while the proximity of Pipe Valley suggests a network of seasonal water routes essential to this arid region.
