About this map

Red Butte stands as a prominent landmark above the Coconino Plateau in this northern Arizona landscape. The area is characterized by a sophisticated water management network designed for ranching or forestry within the Kaibab National Forest. Features such as the Dillman Trick Tank, Nagiller Tank, and Huff Reservoir illustrate the critical nature of water storage in this arid environment. The map shows several seasonal drainages, including Little Red Horse Wash and Blue Stem Wash, which feed into various tanks and reservoirs like the Corbitt Dam Reservoir.

Evidence of historical land use appears in the naming of travel routes like Old "304" Rd. and Old "305A" Rd., while the southern portion of the sheet reaches the settlement area of Valle. The presence of the 500 K.V. Powerline Rd indicates the modern infrastructure traversing the forest, contrasting with the more traditional names like Yaeger Bly Tank and Curley Wallace Tank found across the plateau.
