2011 Map of West Canyon Creek

About this map

West Canyon Creek meanders across this northern Arizona landscape, carving a complex network of drainage patterns into the high desert plateau of Coconino County. The topography is defined by significant vertical relief, most notably at Octagon Butte, a prominent landform that stands as a singular named landmark in an otherwise largely unpopulated expanse. This 2011 survey illustrates the intricate natural hydrology of the region, where numerous unnamed seasonal tributaries feed into the primary creek system, revealing the erosional forces that shape the desert floor. The map provides a clear record of the area's physical geography at the start of the 21st century, prior to modern developments or changes in land designation.
