About this map

Kaibab National Forest dominates the northeastern corner of this Coconino County landscape, where the high-desert terrain is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages and livestock infrastructure. The map centers on the winding course of Molly Ann Draw and Miller Wash, which carve through the plateau towards the settlement of Troy in the southwest. A high density of water catchments, including Molly Ann Tank, Boone Tank, and Steel Rim Tank, indicates the vital importance of water management for cattle ranching in this arid environment.

Evidence of local resource extraction is found at the Gravel Pit near the southern boundary, while landmarks like Red Hill and Oakie Hole provide geographic orientation across the open range. This 1989 revision captures the rural character of the region just before the turn of the 21st century, showing a landscape primarily shaped by forestry, ranching, and the rugged natural features of the Arizona uplands.
