About this map

Kaibab National Forest dominates the high-elevation landscape of Coconino County, defined by the volcanic prominence of Sitgreaves Mountain and its surrounding cinder cones. The terrain is marked by a complex network of stock tanks—essential water sources in this arid environment—bearing names such as Schoolhouse Tank, White House Tank, and Frenchy Spring Tank. These labels suggest a history of ranching and remote settlement throughout the late 20th century.

Modern land use is evident through infrastructure like the Radio Hill communication site and industrial markers including a Sandpit, Cinder Pit, and Industrial Waste Ponds. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the northern reach of the Williams Corporate Boundary, contrasting the wilder slopes of Dude Mountain and Baird Mountain with the more developed Pitman Valley. Evidence of earlier surveying persists at the Wheel BM 6852 benchmark near McHat Tank.
