About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation covers the northern reaches of this landscape, where the ephemeral Coyote Wash cuts through high desert terrain. To the south, the Little Colorado River winds through a broad alluvial corridor, flanked by the Toltec Divide and the expansive Rincon Basin. This 1986 survey documents a sparsely settled ranching environment, centered on landmarks like the Rincon Ranch and several corrals scattered across the basin floors.

Local topography is defined by the contrast between flat grazing lands like Tucker Flat and the rising elevations of Tucker Mesa. Water management in this arid region is evidenced by the presence of North Tank and the seasonal catchment at Dry Lake. Industrial activity is minimal but present, noted by a Gravel Pit near the river, reflecting the modest extraction of local materials for regional infrastructure development near the Coconino and Navajo county line.
