About this map

Echo Cliffs dominate the eastern horizon of this high-desert landscape in Coconino County, where the drainage network defines the movement of water across an arid terrain. The map traces a complex system of seasonal watercourses, including the long reaches of Tanner Wash, Hot Na Na Wash, and Sheep Spring Wash. Human intervention in this environment is marked by essential water-catchment features like Limestone Tank, Pine Reservoir, and the namesake Tanner Well, which provide vital points of reference in an otherwise sparsely populated region.

Prominent landforms such as Gray Point, Cinyon Otah, and the Gray Grass Bench characterize the western and southern reaches of the quadrangle. The presence of these named landmarks alongside smaller drainages like Roundy Creek and Tiger Wash illustrates the importance of topographic nomenclature for navigation and land management in the northern Arizona backcountry. The map also indicates a route leading south To Hajisho, connecting this remote area to neighboring locales.
