2011 Map of Wrather Arch

About this map

Wrather Arch stands as a prominent geological landmark in this high-desert landscape of Coconino County, where the meandering Paria River carves its way through the northern reaches of the terrain. The map documents a sparsely settled area primarily defined by drainage patterns and water management features essential for land use in this arid environment. Strategic water points such as Lynn Tank and Soap Creek Number One Tank are scattered across the sheet, while more significant catchments like Middle Reservoir and Lower Reservoir appear in the southern portion. The presence of named landmarks like Hole in the Rock and The Hole highlights the unique topography that has long challenged travelers and ranchers. Further north, Judd Hollow leads toward the river, reflecting the deep-cut canyons and narrow passages that characterize this section of the Arizona backcountry.
