About this map

Aubrey Cliffs dominate the western horizon of this Coconino County landscape, where the high desert terrain drops into Prospect Valley. This 2018 survey reveals a land defined by its scarce water resources, documented through a network of vital catchment basins such as Copper Tank, North Laguna Tank, and Lower Laguna Tank. These features represent the essential infrastructure of the American Southwest's ranching and wilderness areas, where names like Bear Tank and Turkey Tank suggest the local wildlife and heritage of the region.

The central drainage of Mohawk Canyon and its associated Mohawk Cr provide the primary geographical structure for the eastern half of the map, cutting through Laguna Valley. Tracing Co RD 11 through the center of the sheet shows the primary artery for navigating this area of the Colorado Plateau. From the heights of Prospect Ridge to the terminal reach of Albers Wash, the map provides a precise record of the physical landmarks used by land managers and locals in the 21st century.
