About this map

Coconino National Forest defines the rugged topography of this region, where the riparian corridor of Oak Creek provides a stark contrast to the high desert plateaus. The settlement of Page Springs serves as a focal point for activity along the water, housing the Page Springs State Fish Cultural Station and a Gaging Station to monitor the flow of this vital desert resource. The presence of the Christian Indian Sch and a Trailer Park near the creek suggest a small, established community built around the unique hydrology of the area.

Away from the perennial waters of the creek, the landscape is marked by livestock and ranching infrastructure. Named features like Windmill Ranch and Deer Pass Ranch are supported by a network of earthen tanks such as Skeleton Bone Tank, Last Chance Tank, and Dutch Kid Tank. Movement across this terrain follows historical paths like Bill Gray Road and various Jeep Trails, winding between landmarks like Anderson Butte and Windmill Mtn.
