About this map

Elden Mtn and the volcanic terrain of the Coconino National Forest dominate this high-desert landscape east of the city. The map details a complex intersection of ancient history and modern infrastructure, where the prehistoric Elden Pueblo archaeological site sits just north of the busy commercial corridors in East Flagstaff. The presence of the Bottomless Pit and the dramatic topography of Walnut Canyon illustrate the unique limestone and basalt geology of the region.

A network of recreational and historical routes, including the Arizona National Scenic Trl and Fatmans Loop Trl, weaves through the foothills of the Turkey Hills and across Anderson Mesa. This survey documents the contemporary expansion of Flagstaff toward the protected boundaries of the Walnut Canyon National Monument, marking the edge of urban growth against significant cultural and natural landmarks like Fisher Point and McMillan Mesa.
