About this map

Aubrey Cliffs dominate this portion of Coconino County, where the high desert landscape is defined by deep drainages and isolated water sources. The area is characterized by dramatic landforms like the Tower of Babylon and the high point at Robbers Roost. This terrain provides a clear view of how water management is critical in this environment, with numerous named tanks and springs—such as Beecher Tank, Starkweather Tank, and Wilder Springs—distributed across the landscape to support livestock or wildlife.

The presence of Diamond Creek and its associated Diamond Canyon in the northwest contrasts with the intricate network of Robbers Roost Canyon and Blue Mountain Canyon to the south. These features illustrate the complex erosional patterns typical of the Arizona plateau. Very little human infrastructure is present beyond the primitive track of Bia-18, emphasizing the remote character of these tribal lands during the early 21st century.
