About this map

Shinarump Point and the towering Shinarump Cliffs dominate this Coconino County landscape, where the high desert meets a series of strategic gaps and canyons. The drainage of Johnson Wash serves as the primary geographic corridor, carving through the terrain near Wildcat Canyon and Lost Spring Gap. Human activity in this arid region is defined by remote livestock operations and water management, evidenced by Buttons Ranch and Chatterly Ranch along the eastern reaches.

Water infrastructure is essential for these isolated outposts, with features like Pratt Reservoir, Little Reservoir, and the Hatch Brothers Tank supporting life in the backcountry. Access is maintained through a network of primitive routes, including Winter Rd and Ryan Rd, which connect the points of interest across the plateau. The map highlights the intersection of natural landmarks like Crowbar Point with the functional requirements of ranching in the American Southwest.
