About this map

Kaibab National Forest dominates this landscape, defined by a complex network of deep drainage systems and water catchment features. Natural water sources like Sowats Spring, Little Sowats Spring, and Box Elder Spring are critical anchors in this arid environment, while a series of man-made tanks, including White Pockets Tank and Pine Hollow Trick Tank, indicate the infrastructure required for land management and livestock.

Strategic high points such as Sawmill Point and West Lake Point overlook the rugged topography of Sowats Canyon and Jumpup Canyon. Travel through the terrain is dictated by natural gaps like Ranger Pass and Eagle Pass. The map captures the specialized lexicon of Western water management, from traditional springs to specialized "trick tanks," providing a detailed look at how this remote section of Coconino County is navigated and maintained.
