About this map

Lowell Observatory and Northern Arizona University anchor the cultural and intellectual landscape of western Flagstaff in this 2011 survey. The terrain is defined by high volcanic mesas and canyons, including Observatory Mesa, McMillan Mesa, and Switzer Canyon. Water management is prominent throughout the arid landscape, marked by numerous storage sites like Flagstaff City Reservoirs, A One Lake, and various stock tanks such as Matson Tank and Fuller Tank.

Transportation infrastructure dominates the southern and western corridors, with the Arizona Divide and major interchanges like the F-A-I Seventeen Interchange facilitating movement through the San Francisco Peaks region. Natural features like Sinclair Wash and the Rio de Flag wind through the city, while Fort Tuthill and McPherson Park provide significant open space. This map captures a modern view of the city as it balances its role as a scientific hub and a mountain crossroads.
