About this map

Chevelon Canyon carves a deep, serpentine path through the landscape, defining the topography of this high-plateau region of Navajo County in the early 1970s. The map illustrates a complex network of water management features essential for ranching and forest operations, including numerous named stock tanks such as Durant Tank, Archie Tank, and Horse Pasture Tank. This intricate system of basins is supplemented by the Mitchell Windmill and a specialized Gaging Station located near the confluence with Wildcat Canyon.

The southern portion of the area is protected within the Sitgreaves National Forest, where the dense contour lines indicate the steep descent into the canyon floor. A lonely Borrow Pit and the presence of a Rock on Dam Tank suggest the practical infrastructure required to maintain this remote territory. The boundary between Coconino and Navajo counties is clearly delineated, crossing through the open range and intersecting labels like Antelope Tank and Potato Wash.
