About this map

Long Point defines the western reaches of this high-desert landscape in Coconino County, where the topography drops sharply from a plateau into a complex network of draws and washes. This 1970s field-checked environment is defined by its sparse water infrastructure, essential for ranching and survival in the arid Arizona interior. Named water sources such as Long Point Well, Cajon Tank, and Paul Moore Tank are scattered across the terrain, illustrating the critical role of water management in this region.

The presence of the namesake Tin House and features like Little Baldy suggest a landscape used for seasonal grazing or resource extraction, further evidenced by the Gravel Pit located near the eastern boundary. This area is a classic representation of the southwestern range, where land use is dictated by the availability of water at catchments like Mexican Tank and Rainbow Tank, and drainage patterns are marked by ephemeral flows such as Monument Wash.
