About this map

Coconino National Forest covers this high-altitude landscape, where the Arizona National Scenic Trail winds through a network of canyons and mesas. The geography is defined by a series of drainage systems, including Jacks Canyon, Bargaman Draw, and Todd Draw, which cut through the terrain. The naming of landmarks like Turkey Mtn and Bushy Knoll suggests a history tied to land-use and early navigation through the forest.

Water management is a central theme of the landscape, illustrated by dozens of constructed reservoirs such as Turkey Tank, Rock Bottom Tank, and the curiously named Foot in Tree Tank. These tanks and pools, including Clintons Pool, represent the essential infrastructure for livestock and wildlife in this arid environment. To the south, features like Lost Eden and Mahan Park indicate more open spaces amidst the timber and draws, while Fire RD 211 provides modern access through the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
