About this map

Kaibab National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this high-altitude Coconino County landscape, where the arid environment is defined by a dense network of water-management features. The eponymous Molly Ann Draw and Miller Wash snake through the southern half of the quadrangle, punctuated by numerous localized reservoirs such as Burro Tank, Osborne Tank, and Fifteen Tank. These tanks, essential for ranching and wildlife in the Arizona high country, are connected by an intricate grid of rural access roads like E Woodland Ranch Rd and N Red Butte Rd.

Evidence of local topography and navigation is found in landmarks like Red Hill and named crossings such as Watchtower Pass and S Peddlers Pass. The map illustrates a transitional zone where the forest edge meets open range, characterized by secluded clearings like Oakie Hole and Steel Rim Tank. The layout of roads such as Birch Rd and Sawyer Dr suggests the slow development of rural parcels and grazing allotments within this high-desert plateau.
