About this map

Toothpick Ridge and the surrounding drainage basins of Coconino County define this high-elevation landscape. The area is characterized by a network of seasonal water catchments essential for ranching and wildlife, including Pigeon Tank, Slide Tank, and East Side Tank. A small reliable water source, Table Rock Spring, is found near the geological prominence of Table Rock, where the terrain drops into Table Rock Canyon.

Human activity in this part of the Kaibab National Forest is centered on pastoral infrastructure and forest management. The Board Corral stands as a primary landmark in the southern half of the quadrangle, connected by several numeric routes such as Forest Service Rd. The map illustrates the specialized water management required in this arid environment, where named canyons like Toothpick Canyon and Naile Canyon channel intermittent flow through the high plateau.
