2011 Map of Zeniff

About this map

Zeniff sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Navajo County, where the topography is defined by a sophisticated network of water management features and seasonal drainages. Numerous tanks named for local families and landmarks, such as Homestead Tank, Purcell Tank, and Charlie Ross Tank, are scattered across the terrain to catch runoff. The drainage patterns of Scott Wash, Pierce Wash, and Phoenix Park Wash dominate the hydrology of the area, all leading toward the large natural depression of Dry Lake in the north. This 2011 survey reveals how the ranching infrastructure adapts to the arid environment, with labels like Fenceline and Duck Lake Rd marking the few established routes through the scrubland. Significant local landmarks such as Sinkhole Tank and Despain Tank provide specific points of interest for those studying the regional geography and land use patterns of northeastern Arizona.
