2014 Map of National Tank

About this map

National Canyon carves a significant path through this portion of Coconino County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent water sources and traditional routes. The map documents vital highland water catchments including National Tank, Sink Tank, and the curiously named Potters Hole. These water features serve as critical landmarks in an arid environment where drainage is defined by the expansive Sandstone Wash and Albers Wash. The presence of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, specifically Bia-12, Bia-13, and Bia-18, underscores the area's ongoing importance for local transit and land management. The 2014 survey captures the intersection of several townships, including t30n r6w and t29n r7w, illustrating the precise cartographic divisions of this remote high-desert region.
