About this map

The town of Snowflake anchors the southern edge of this high-desert landscape in Navajo County, where residential streets like Savage St and Dewitt St meet the arid terrain of the Colorado Plateau. The topography is defined by a series of sequential drainage systems, including Fivemile Draw, Sixmile Draw, and Sevenmile Draw, which cut through the undulating earth between local landmarks such as Second Knolls and the prominent Sugarloaf hill.

Water management and natural depressions are central to the area's character, evidenced by features like Green Water Tank and the geological anomalies of The Sinks and the Pothole. To the west, the Pink Cliffs provide a sharp contrast to the basin areas containing Hidden Lake and Cedar Lake. Long-established ranching access is preserved on the map through the winding path of Rocking Chair Ranch Rd, illustrating the intersection of historic rural land use and modern suburban expansion.
