2014 Map of Coconino Point

About this map

The Little Colorado River carves a deep, sinuous path across this high-altitude landscape, dictating the local topography and historical movement through the region. Rising above the river's path are several prominent volcanic and sedimentary formations, including the high summit of Coconino Point and the isolated elevations of Side Mountain and Gray Mountain. To the north, Red Butte stands as a distinct landmark, while the vast expanse of Mormon Tea Flat occupies the southern reaches near Burro Canyon Wash. Infrastructure is sparse in this arid environment, defined primarily by the passage of Highway 64 and the Bureau of Indian Affairs road Bia-6135. The presence of Hopi Trail Canyon indicates long-standing cultural and geographic transit points through the steep canyon walls that dominate the central part of the quadrangle.
