2018 Map of Truxton

About this map

Truxton anchors this High Desert landscape, situated along a transportation corridor defined by several local thoroughfares including Sunset Strip and Lincoln St. The settlement's placement at the convergence of Truxton Wash and Truxton Canyon highlights the historical importance of natural drainage routes for early desert infrastructure. Beyond the small grid of streets like Apache Ave and Cherokee Ave, the terrain rises toward the western edge of the quadrangle at the Cottonwood Cliffs. This arid environment is marked by numerous water management features essential for ranching and survival, such as Walkover Tank, Dead Cow Tank, and Mud Tank. The map also traces the winding paths of Cherokee Wash and Hidden Wash, which slice through the township lines of T24N and T23N, illustrating how topographic relief dictated land use in northern Arizona.
