About this map

The high desert landscape of Navajo County unfolds across this 2014 survey, dominated by a complex network of seasonal drainages and cattle tanks. The eponymous Sheepskin Wash traverses the center of the terrain, while the Pink Cliffs and Indian Rock provide prominent geological landmarks in the northern half of the quadrangle. This area represents a transition into the northern reaches of the Sitgreaves National Forest, where the land management reflects a history of ranching and natural resource protection.

Water management is central to the human footprint here, evidenced by numerous named reservoirs such as Settling Tank, Red Lake Tank, and Morris Tank. These features, along with the route of Az-377 and the descriptive Indian Pottery Rd, highlight how connectivity and resource access have shaped this arid corner of Arizona. The map also captures several natural depressions like Dry Lake, which characterize the drainage patterns west of Buckhorn Draw.
