About this map

Kaibab National Forest dominates this northern Arizona landscape, where the high-plateau drainage systems of Red Horse Wash and Little Red Horse Wash carve through the terrain. The infrastructure of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad skirts the northwestern corner, serving the remote outpost of Anita Station. This area is defined by its water management and mineral extraction history, characterized by numerous named catchment basins such as Rain Tank, Java Tank, and Sixty Two Tank. These tanks were essential for supporting livestock and steam locomotives in the arid environment. Resource extraction is represented by the Copper Queen Mine and several Prospects, highlighting the era's focus on identifying valuable deposits within the Coconino County uplands.
