2021 Map of Coconino Point

About this map

Coconino Point rises as the dominant landmark in this high-desert landscape, overlooking the dramatic incision of the Little Colorado River Gorge. The river corridor, which includes the winding Little Colorado River, serves as the primary geographic focal point, cutting through the plateau and creating complex side-drainages such as Hopi Trail Canyon. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive topographical features including Red Butte, Side Mtn, and Gray Mtn, while lower flatlands are identified by names like Mormon Tea Flat. This modern survey illustrates the intersection of indigenous routes and contemporary infrastructure, with Indian Rte 6135 and Route 64 providing access through the region. The map captures a landscape defined by significant vertical relief, where ephemeral drainages like Burro Canyon Wash feed into the deeply carved river system.
