2011 Map of Rhodes Canyon

About this map

Chino Wash winds through this high-desert landscape in Coconino County, serving as the primary drainage for a region defined by its ranching history and reliance on seasonal water sources. The map reveals a network of earthen reservoirs and stock tanks critical for cattle operations, including family-named landmarks like Jack Stephens Tank and the more cryptically named D Tank and Little E Tank. This early twenty-first-century survey captures the enduring character of Arizona's open range, where settlement is sparse and centered around sites like Keseha Ranch. The terrain is marked by significant geographic depressions such as Rhodes Canyon and Pine Canyon, which provide a sense of the local topography and drainage patterns. To the southeast, the Sheep Ranch Tank indicates the continued utility of this land for livestock management in a demanding environment.
