About this map

Ash Fork sits at a historic crossroads in northern Arizona, positioned along the boundary of the Kaibab National Forest. This 2014 survey captures the settlement near the junction of State Hwy 89 and the modern corridor of Interstate 40, which follows the path of W Old Highway 66. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation terrain of Big Black Mesa and the deep cuts of Johnson Canyon and Devil Dog Canyon.

Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by a dense network of catchments including Santa Fe Tank, Steel Dam Reservoir, and Masonry Number Two Reservoir. These features, along with names like Rods Winter Camp Tank and Merchant Tank, point to the region's ranching and railway heritage. For those researching local roots, the Ash Fork Cem and the nearby siding at Daze provide specific points of historical interest on the Yavapai and Coconino County line.
