About this map

Sitgreaves National Forest spans the southwestern reaches of this Arizona landscape, where the high country topography is defined by prominent volcanic features like Ortega Mtn and Dobbins Knoll. The terrain is characterized by numerous small basins and drainage patterns, including the White Lakes Basin and the winding Ortega Draw. A network of water sources, both natural and man-made, is scattered throughout the region, including Baca Lake, Sides Lake, and Ortega Lake, alongside various livestock tanks like Mannerheim Tank and Bourdon Tank.

The presence of structured road names such as Florida Ave, Arkansas Ave, and California Ave in the northern sections suggests a grid of rural development or seasonal grazing access. These routes intersect with the Navajo Co and Apache Co boundary, which cuts vertically through the quadrangle. Local landmarks like Sides Knoll and Upper White Lakes Draw provide further orientation for those studying the physical geography and land-use history of this section of the Colorado Plateau.
