2018 Map of Red Butte

About this map

Red Butte rises as a prominent landmark above the surrounding high-desert terrain of the Coconino Plateau, serving as the central topographical focus of this portion of the Kaibab National Forest. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage washes and vital water catchment points, known locally as tanks. These features, including Nagiller Tank, Airport Tank, and the family-named Curley Wallace Tank, trace the historical reliance on collected surface water in this arid Arizona environment. Transportation and utility corridors carve through the forest, notably the Old "304" Rd. and the modern APS 500 K.V. Powerline Rd. Smaller infrastructure such as Huff Reservoir and the Corbett Dam Reservoir indicate managed water resources that supported ranching or local forestry operations during this era.
