About this map

Coconino National Forest dominates this section of the Arizona high desert, where the landscape is defined by extinct volcanic features and a sophisticated network of water catchment systems. Rattlesnake Crater and Merrill Crater stand as prominent geological landmarks north of the main transportation corridor. The small settlement of Angell is situated along the railroad, serving as a focal point for the surrounding cattle country.

Survival in this arid environment is evidenced by the numerous named tanks and trick tanks distributed across the range, including Diablo Tank, Fourvert Tank, and Rabbitbrush Trick Tank. These features, along with the deep cuts of Youngs Canyon and Padre Canyon, illustrate the critical management of water and topography in the region. Modern transit routes like Resort Blvd and Twin Arrows Rd intersect with older local paths like Toonerville, reflecting the area's continued role as a gateway across the plateau.
