About this map

The high desert plateau of Kaibab National Forest dominates this landscape, defined by its extensive network of ranching infrastructure and mineral extraction sites during the late 1980s. Water management is the primary human footprint here, as evidenced by a series of catchment basins including Stanford Tank, Pouquette Tank, and Reneke Tank, which supported livestock at the Aja Ranch. Natural water sources like Apache Spring and Con Clair Spring are also prominent features in this arid Coconino County terrain.

Industrial activity is centered in the southern portion of the quadrangle along the slopes of Paradise Ridge. Here, numerous labels for Quarries, Prospects, and a Cinder Pit suggest a landscape actively utilized for its geological resources. A regional Pipeline cuts through the northern sections, while a web of 4wd trails provides access to remote corners of the forest, such as Doe Tank and Barney Dry Dam.
