2014 Map of Pilot Rock

About this map

Petrified Forest National Park occupies the southern and eastern portions of this High Desert landscape, where the terrain is defined by complex drainage systems and isolated watering points. The namesake Pilot Rock stands as a prominent landmark in the southeast, presiding over a series of washes that carve through the arid topography. The map detail highlights the critical role of water management in this environment, featuring several named tanks such as Five Mill Tank, Little Rabbit Tank, and Rabbit Tank. These artificial or natural depressions serve as vital collection points within a network of ephemeral streams, most notably Leroux Wash and Digger Wash, which dictate the natural movement across this section of Navajo County. The absence of major roads or settlements underscores the protected, wilderness character of this region during the early twenty-first century.
