About this map

Little Colorado River winds through this high-desert landscape in Coconino County, carving a path north of the prominent Coconino Point. This 2011 survey captures the area’s geologic character, defined by significant elevations like Red Butte, Side Mountain, and the massive shoulder of Gray Mountain. The map illustrates the sparse infrastructure of the region, where access is limited to thoroughfares such as Indian Rte 6135 and various branches of Forest Service Rd.

A key point of interest for those studying the terrain is the Colorado River Gorge Outlook, situated near where the highway crosses the river's drainage. To the east, the terrain drops into Hopi Trail Canyon, while Burro Canyon Wash drains the southwestern portion of the quadrangle. The map serves as a clear record of the intersection between natural landforms and the essential transportation corridors that traverse this portion of the Arizona plateau.
