About this map

Coconino National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape south of Flagstaff, centered on the prominent volcanic peak of Mormon Mountain. The 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by complex drainage basins and volcanic features, including Milos Butte and Mt Nestor. This area is marked by a network of cattle tanks and springs critical to the local ecology and ranching history, such as Casner Park Tank and Newman Tank.

Logistics and travel through these dense timberlands are captured via forest routes like Mormon Lake Rd and Rocky Road. The map provides a detailed view of natural clearings like Antelope Park and Horse Park, which offer distinct breaks in the forest canopy. For researchers, the density of named water features like Snag Seep Tank and Mud Spring provides insight into the management of this arid but high-elevation woodland environment.
