About this map

Aubrey Cliffs dominate the southwestern corner of this Coconino County landscape, marking a significant topographical transition in the high desert of Arizona. The area is defined by a series of deep drainages and canyons, most notably Rhodes Canyon and Pine Canyon, which cut through the plateaus. This 2014 survey reveals an arid environment where water management is critical for land use, as evidenced by a network of named stock tanks such as Deer Tank, Jack Stephens Tank, and Sheep Ranch Tank.

The presence of Chino Wash running through the eastern portion of the quadrangle indicates the seasonal drainage patterns typical of this region. The map captures the systematic organization of the land under the Public Land Survey System, showing the intersections of t26n r7w, t26n r6w, t25n r7w, and t25n r6w. This spatial arrangement provides insight into the grazing and ranching history of the area, where isolated water sources like Little F Tank and D Tank serve as the primary landmarks across the terrain.
