About this map

Kaibab National Forest and Prescott National Forest intersect in this high-altitude landscape, where the geography is defined by a sophisticated network of water catchment systems. Dozens of earthen tanks, such as Scar Tank, Perkins Tank, and Saginaw Tank, reflect the essential infrastructure required for ranching and wildlife management in this arid timberland. The presence of White Horse Lake and JD Dam Lake alongside numerous named tanks underscores the historical reliance on these artificial and improved water sources.

Transit through the region is marked by historic corridors and modern recreation paths, including the Great Western Trail and several dedicated mountain bike routes like Round Mountain Bike. Named landmarks such as Wagner Hill and Perkins Knoll provide prominent reference points, while deep drainage features like Lee Canyon and Jacks Canyon cut through the forest. This survey captures a terrain where the legacy of early ranching families, evidenced by features like Holloway Spring and Bar Cross Tank, persists within the bounds of federally managed lands.
