2014 Map of West Canyon Creek

About this map

Cummings Mesa dominates this high-desert landscape in Coconino County, characterized by the complex drainage systems of the Rainbow Plateau and the deeply incised waters of West Canyon Creek. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, ranging from the submerged reaches of Lake Powell in the northwest to the prominent heights of Octagon Butte. The map details a labyrinth of geological formations including Wetherill Canyon and the expansive Sei Billikoon drainage area. This 2014 survey records the land as it appeared before more recent environmental shifts, providing an essential reference for understanding the hydraulic and geological patterns of this portion of northern Arizona. The absence of improved roads or settlements reflects the challenging nature of this terrain, where movement is dictated by the natural corridors of the canyons and mesa tops.
