Sears Tank
Sears Tank is a reservoir located in Coconino National Forest, Coconino County, Arizona. In the 1940s, water catchments were built by the Arizona Game and Fish Department to store water and stabilize the quail and dove populations. These originally held about 700 gallons of water, and in the 1960s increased to 6,000 gallons or more to support big game and cattle. There isn’t much information on the Sears Tank.
