About this map

Mormon Mountain and the high-altitude volcanic landscape south of Flagstaff define this mid-century survey of the Coconino National Forest. The map is characterized by a dense network of water features critical for land management and ranching, including Horse Park Tank, Thicket Tank, and Mormon Mtn Tank. The industrial character of the era is evident through the presence of the Industrial Railroad, which snakes through the parks and timberlands, connecting with an Old Grade near a Cinder Pit.

Settlement is sparse, centered primarily around Munds Park on the western edge of the quadrangle. The terrain transitions from broad volcanic parks like Casner Park and Antelope Park to prominent high points such as T-Six Mountain, Mt Nestor, and Milos Butte. Local history is preserved in named landmarks like Howard Spring, Weimer Spring, and the various tanks named for local figures or descriptive qualities, such as Red Raspberry Tank and Cowboy Junior Tank.
