About this map

Volcanic landforms and deep canyons dominate this high-desert landscape within the Coconino National Forest. Distinctive geologic features like Rattlesnake Crater and Merrill Crater rise above the surrounding terrain, while Youngs Canyon and Padre Canyon cut through the arid surface. The small settlement of Angell serves as a primary point of human activity along the transcontinental rail corridor that traverses the central part of the sheet.

Strategic water management is evident through numerous named stock tanks, including Piper Tank, Colcord Tank, and Fourvert Tank, which support cattle ranching in an environment otherwise defined by its lack of surface water. Modern transportation networks are represented by the Twinarrows route and the interstate, illustrating how this portion of Coconino County remains a vital transit link between the volcanic fields and the larger Arizona plateau.
