2011 Map of Red Knoll

About this map

Brookbank Canyon and the high desert landscape north of Heber define this area of Navajo County. The land is marked by an extensive system of earthen tanks and washes essential for water management in the arid Arizona interior. Named features like Solomon Butte and Red Knoll rise above the drainage networks of Larson Draw and Pierce Wash. A grid of residential and ranch roads, including the evocatively named Hashknife Trl and Oil Pan Aly, occupies the northern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the modern subdivision of traditional ranching territory. To the south, the terrain becomes more isolated, dominated by open flats and intermittent water sources such as Ancient Tank and Uranium Tank, reflecting the area's geological and livestock-raising history.
