2021 Map of Red Butte SW

About this map

The Kaibab National Forest dominates this section of the Coconino plateau, where the landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage systems of the Little Red Horse Wash and Red Horse Wash. This 2021 survey reveals a territory primarily shaped by livestock management and early transportation routes. The presence of numerous catchment basins, such as Anita Tank, Sixty Two Tank, and Red Horse Tank, highlights the critical importance of water security in this arid high-desert environment. These features are scattered throughout the forest, supporting grazing activities that have long characterized the local economy.
