About this map

Humphreys Peak and the surrounding volcanic heights of the San Francisco Mtn dominate this landscape, which contains the highest elevations in Arizona. The map details a complex network of high-altitude drainages and canyons, including Abineau Canyon and Interior Valley, which cut through the steep slopes of Agassiz Peak and Fremont Peak. The terrain transition is sharp, moving from the peaks down to the relatively level expanse of Hart Prairie and the Freidlein Prairie to the west.

Water management in this arid alpine environment is a primary feature, evidenced by numerous named springs and tanks like Leroux Spring and Windmill Tank. The settlement of Fort Valley serves as a lower-elevation anchor, where the Rio de Flag begins its course. An extensive system of trails, such as the Arizona National Scenic Trl and the Waterline Trl, underscores the area's importance for transit through the Coconino National Forest and toward Schultz Pass.
