2011 Map of Lower Lake Mary

About this map

Lower Lake Mary and its associated meadows dominate this high-altitude landscape south of Flagstaff. The map documents an intricate network of forest service roads and fire routes, such as Fire Rd 296 and Hoxworth Springs Rd, that provide access to various watering points essential for local livestock or wildlife, including Mustang Park Tank and Hey Dog Tank. The presence of the United States Geological Survey Observatory near Walnut Creek highlights the area's scientific utility, while Lake View Forest Camp and Coulter Cabin indicate long-standing recreational and seasonal habitation. This survey reflects the modern management of the Coconino National Forest, where natural features like Hoxworth Springs and Thomas Spring are integrated into a system of named draws and meadows like Lake Mary Meadows and Elk Park Meadows, preserving the identity of specific locales within the pine-forested terrain.
