2011 Map of Howard Mesa

About this map

Red Lake Valley and the surrounding high-desert plateau of Coconino County are defined by seasonal watercourses and evolving residential patterns in this 2011 record. The drainage of Red Lake Wash cuts a significant path through the center of the map, terminating near Red Lake in the south. The presence of Bly Siding along the northern corridor hints at the region's transportation history, while modern subdivisions are evidenced by street names like N Stagecoach Dr and N Pony Express Dr. These names, alongside Espee Rd, evoke the ranching and rail heritage of northern Arizona. The landscape transitions from the flat expanses of LO Flat and LO Draw to the more prominent elevations of Howard Mesa and the depths of Horse Trap Canyon, reflecting the varied topography east of the Grand Canyon region.
