About this map

Turkey Mountain and the surrounding high-altitude desert of Coconino County are defined by an intricate network of water management features and cattle-working landmarks. The landscape is dotted with numerous earthen tanks, including Little Water Tank, Kennedy Tank, and Two Jim Tank, which support livestock in this arid environment. These water sources are connected by a system of Forest Service roads, such as FS RD 93 and FS RD 211, which navigate between prominent elevations like Oak Hill and Bushy Knoll.

Evidence of historical ranching operations appears at Bar D Corral and Wingfield Corral, both situated near natural drainage features like Bargaman Draw. The presence of Willow Valley Lake provides a significant hydrological marker in the center of the quadrangle. For the researcher or local historian, the map preserves the exact locations of these named tanks and corrals, offering a detailed look at the infrastructure required for mountain ranching in the early 21st century.
