2018 Map of Ash Fork

About this map

Ash Fork serves as the central hub of this northern Arizona landscape, where the legacy of early western infrastructure is visible through a complex network of water management and transportation. The community is flanked by significant technical landmarks like the Steel Dam Reservoir and the Masonry Number Two Reservoir near Johnson Canyon, reflecting the critical need for water storage in this high-desert environment. Much of the surrounding area is protected within the Kaibab National Forest, marked by distinctive terrain such as Big Black Mesa and Putney Flat. For those tracing local history or family ties, the Ash Fork Cem and numerous named water tanks, including Rods Winter Camp Tank and Hells Uncle Tank, provide specific points of reference for ranching and settlement patterns. Modern transit routes like Old Rte 66 and the Ash Fork Hill Mtn. Bike trail cross the same corridors once carved by the railroad and early pioneers.
