About this map

Coconino National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape south of Flagstaff, dominated by the elongated waters of Lower Lake Mary and Upper Lake Mary. These reservoirs occupy the Lake Mary Valley, a significant topographical depression flanked by the expansive Anderson Mesa to the east. The terrain is a complex of volcanic landforms and drainages, where the Arizona National Scenic Trl winds past Marshall Lake and along the rim of Walnut Cr.

Resource management and ranching history are evident through the high density of named water catchments and tanks, such as Wild Horse Tank and Johnneys Tank, which support activity across Coulter Ridge and the Elk Park Meadows. The map reveals a land utilized for both recreation and seasonal grazing, with numerous draws like Priest Draw and Schoolhouse Draw cutting through the mesa slopes toward the central valley.
