2021 Map of Rhodes Canyon

About this map

Rhodes Canyon and Pine Canyon cut through a remote corner of Coconino County, where the high desert landscape is defined by the dramatic escarpment of the Aubrey Cliffs. This 2021 survey illustrates a sparse ranching and water management network, where isolated man-made catchments like Deer Tank, Jack Stephens Tank, and Sheep Ranch Tank provide critical resources in an arid environment. The drainage of Chino Wash meanders through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, carving a path between low ridges. The map reveals the precise Public Land Survey System grid across Townships 25 and 26 North, showing how section lines and primitive roads navigate the complex terrain of the Arizona strip.
