1985 Map of One Toe Ridge

About this map

The Vermilion Cliffs form a massive southern rampart in this high-desert landscape of Coconino County, where the terrain transitions into the high reaches of the Paria Plateau. This 1985 provisional survey captures a region defined by complex erosion and critical water management, evidenced by the presence of Check Dams and vital watering spots like Moquitch Tank and Mexican Sink. Between the Sand Hills and the Dark Forest, the map reveals a remote network of trails and unimproved roads connecting seasonal landmarks. Features like Corral Valley Pockets and Pine Tree Pockets suggest the long-standing use of these canyons for livestock or travel, while the naming of One Toe Ridge and Pinnacle Ridge highlights the distinctive geological formations of the Arizona strip.
