2023 Map of Ashurst Lake

About this map

Anderson Mesa dominates the eastern half of this terrain within the Coconino National Forest, where high-elevation drainage patterns define the local geography. The landscape is marked by a complex system of water catchments and natural basins, including Ashurst Lake and the elongated waters of Upper Lake Mary in the western Lake Mary Valley. These water sources, ranging from Potato Lake to numerous named tanks like Otteson Tank and Railroad Tank, illustrate the critical importance of water management in this part of Arizona. The Arizona National Scenic Trail winds through the center of the sheet, crossing several canyons such as Newman Canyon and Mormon Canyon. This modern survey details the intricate network of forest roads and trails that provide access to the mesa's remote springs, including Youngs Spring and Elk Spring.
