2018 Map of Sheepskin Wash

About this map

Sitgreaves National Forest anchors the southern portion of this high-desert landscape in Navajo County, where a network of seasonal drainages and water-management features defines the territory. The terrain is shaped by the prominent Pink Cliffs to the northeast and the branching systems of Phoenix Park Wash and Sheepskin Wash. In an area where permanent water is scarce, the map reveals a sophisticated system of livestock and catchment basins such as Happy Tank, Rattlesnake Tank, and Sacaton Tank. Significant landmarks like Indian Rock and various draws, including Buckhorn Draw and Bushman Draw, serve as primary navigational points across the arid flats. The presence of Dry Lake in the northwest and the solitary Indian Pottery Rd in the southeast suggests a landscape utilized for ranching and forest management, where these named tanks and washes represent the essential landmarks for local navigation and land use.
