About this map

Robbers Roost and its surrounding canyon define this high-altitude landscape in Coconino County, characterized by a complex network of ephemeral water sources and distinct geological landmarks. The presence of numerous livestock tanks, such as Beecher Tank, Starkweather Tank, and Babylon Tank, indicates a landscape managed for ranching and resource conservation. Geologically striking features like the Tower of Babylon rise above the drainage systems, while the scars of environmental shifts are marked by the Twenty Pine Burn.

Water security in this arid region is documented through natural features like Wilder Springs and Diamond Creek Spring, which feed into the larger Diamond Creek system. The area is accessed via Indian Service Road 18, which skirts the eastern edge of the quadrangle. This 2011 survey serves as a vital record of land use and topographic character in a remote section of Northern Arizona, detailing the names and locations of essential water points like the Hidden Valley Tank.
