About this map

Coconino National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape of this 1970 survey, where a series of lakes and volcanic features punctuate the terrain. The hydrological network is particularly prominent, featuring Long Lake, Tremaine Lake, and the smaller Soldier Lake. These water bodies, along with numerous named stock tanks like Bullfight Tank and Lewis Tank, suggest a landscape managed for grazing and water conservation within the forest boundaries.

Evidence of historical transit and land use appears at Chavez Pass, where the terrain transitions toward Chavez Mtn. The map identifies the Chavez Well (Site), marking a specific point of human activity near the pass. Other geologically distinct features include Crater Lake and the deep incisions of Diablo Canyon and Grapevine Canyon, which showcase the complex drainage patterns and volcanic history of this Coconino County region.
