2014 Map of Trinity Mountain

About this map

Trinity Mountain stands as the central landmark of this high-altitude landscape in western Coconino County. The area is defined by a sparse but vital network of water catchment systems, essential for ranching and wildlife in this arid environment. Extensive drainages like Chino Wash wind through the terrain, flanked by notable geological formations such as Rim Rock. The mapping of numerous named reservoirs, including Horseshoe Tank, McCracken Tank, and Cinder Tank, reveals a geography focused on managing limited water resources across the plateau. This 2014 survey documents the enduring physical character of the Arizona backcountry, highlighting the intersection of named landforms and the infrastructure required to sustain life in the high desert.
