2018 Map of Williams North

About this map

The high-altitude landscape of the Colorado Plateau defines this area north of Williams, where the transition from forest to open valley is marked by a complex network of ranching and water management features. Kaibab National Forest lands dominate the southern half of the map, giving way to the broad expanse of Red Lake Valley and Indian Blanket to the north. Water security in this arid environment is evidenced by the density of named tanks and lakes, from the prominent Kaibab Lake and Cataract Lake in the south to smaller pastoral catchments like Sweetwood Tank and Muleshoe Tank scattered across the northern sections. Transportation and infrastructure are centered around H A Clark Memorial Field and the deeply incised Cataract Canyon, while residential development patterns appear along the northeastern drainage of Red Lake Wash. The map also preserves local topography names such as Three Sisters and Fues Hill, providing a detailed record of land use in Coconino County.
