About this map

Mormon Lake and its surrounding high-country terrain dominate this portion of the Coconino National Forest. The landscape is defined by the shallow basin of the lake and the neighboring Mormon Lake Valley, which sit beneath the prominent slopes of Mormon Mountain. This area has long served as a recreational and seasonal retreat, evidenced by the presence of Tempe Camp, Saint Joseph Youth Camp, and the Pilgrim Playground near the northwestern shore.

Outdoor heritage is central to this map, with the Arizona National Scenic Trail winding through the forest near Navajo Springs. The map also documents numerous water sources critical to this arid plateau, including Double Springs, Wallace Spring, and Smith Spring. Notable topographic features like Bass Point, Fulton Canyon, and Anderson Draw provide a detailed look at the drainage patterns feeding into the lake basin and Ashurst Run.
