1998 Map of Potato Wash North

About this map

Sitgreaves National Forest dominates this high-desert landscape in northern Arizona, where the deep incisions of Chevelon Canyon and Wildcat Canyon converge. The terrain is defined by a sparse but critical network of water management features, including numerous livestock tanks such as Twenty-eight Mile Tank and Rock-on-Dam Tank, which support ranching in an arid environment. Evidence of local land use is visible through landmarks like the Mitchell Windmill and several corrals scattered near the rim of the canyon. The seasonal flow of Potato Wash and Sandy Drain illustrates the drainage patterns toward Chevelon Creek. This survey reflects the late 20th-century character of the region, emphasizing the remote nature of the Points of Wildcat and the essential infrastructure required for survival and industry on the Mogollon Rim's northern slopes.
