About this map

Red Butte dominates the central landscape of this high-altitude terrain, rising sharply from the Coconino Plateau. Located within the Kaibab National Forest, the region is characterized by a sophisticated network of water management features essential for this arid environment, including named catchments like Nagiller Tank, Curley Wallace Tank, and Airport Tank. The topography reveals the natural drainage patterns of Little Red Horse Wash and Blue Stem Wash, which define the local watershed alongside larger storage sites such as Huff Reservoir and the Corbett Dam Reservoir.

Transport and access are primarily defined by historical forestry and range routes, including the Red Butte Trl and various administrative roads like the Boundary Old "320" Rd. The distribution of these tanks and reservoirs suggests a landscape managed for both wildlife and livestock, where every reliable water source was significant enough to earn a specific name, such as Yagger Bly Tank or Gregg Tank.
