About this map

Standing Rocks provides a name for this desert landscape within Coconino County, defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and geological terraces. The northern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the sprawling Ward Terrace and the striking Tloi Eechii Cliffs, which loom over the lower plains. Water management is a central theme in this arid environment, evidenced by numerous named collection points such as Bug Tanks, Kish Zhini Tank, and the aptly named No Water Tank.

Major drainages like White Water Wash and Taah Iitii Wash carve through the terrain, eventually feeding into the Dinnebito Wash at the southeastern edge of the map. Modern access is maintained through the tribal road system, specifically Indian Rte 6730 and Indian Rte 6732, which traverse the high plateau. The map also records essential local water sources such as Box Spring and Muddy Tank, which have historically served as vital landmarks for navigation and livestock in this remote Arizona corridor.
