About this map

San Carlos River flows through the southern portion of this landscape, feeding into Lake Takalai near the Antelope Flats. This 2011 survey reveals a high-desert environment defined by significant topographic relief and an extensive network of ephemeral waterways. Large elevated landforms like Black Mesa, Sontag Mesa, and Natural Corral Mesa dominate the horizon, separated by deep incisions such as Black Mesa Canyon and Dourine Canyon.

Human infrastructure is primarily represented by the San Carlos Airport in the southwest and a series of Indian Routes, including Indian Rte 910 and Indian Rte 920, which navigate the terrain. Water management is critical in this arid region, evidenced by numerous tanks like Holdup Tank, Agency Tank, and Black Mesa Tank, which provide vital resources across the drainage basins of Sycamore Creek and Sevenmile Wash.
