About this map

Kaibab National Forest dominates this Coconino County landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by its seasonal water sources and drainage patterns. The 2014 survey reveals an arid environment managed for livestock and wildlife, centered around numerous stock tanks such as Anita Tank, South Tank, and Sixty Two Tank. These artificial water catchments are vital infrastructure in a region where surface water is otherwise limited to intermittent drainages like Rain Tank Wash and Little Red Horse Wash.

Modern transportation corridors cut through the forest, with US Hwy 180 providing a primary route through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Smaller forest roads and tracks, including Wilawa Rd and Extension Rd, provide access to the interior sections of t28n r2e and surrounding townships, showing how the land remained segmented by the Public Land Survey System even as it was integrated into the national forest system.
