2014 Map of Chapel Mountain

About this map

Coconino National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where volcanic features and seasonal water catchments define the terrain north of Flagstaff. The presence of numerous livestock tanks, including Porkchop Tank, Cinder Tank, and Red Mountain Tank, suggests a region heavily utilized for grazing within the national forest boundaries. The prominent Chapel Mountain and Slate Mtn serve as significant landmarks, overlooking a network of forest roads and the high-desert drainage of Cedar Wash. This survey also documents a significant segment of the Arizona National Scenic Trail as it traverses the eastern portion of the quadrangle, passing near Rabbit Tank and East Cedar Tank. The sparse infrastructure, primarily limited to Us HWY 180 in the southwest and primitive routes like E Tub Ranch Rd, reflects the area's primary character as a protected natural corridor and rangeland.
