About this map

Kachina Village and Mountainaire represent the primary residential pockets south of Flagstaff in this modern survey, surrounded by the diverse geography of the Coconino National Forest. The terrain is marked by deep cuts like Fry Canyon and Kelly Canyon, with the corridor of the S Old Munds Hwy providing historical context for regional travel before the dominance of the interstate. A complex network of water features, including Mortgage Spring and Landon Spring, underscores the critical importance of water management in this high-elevation landscape.

Recreational landmarks such as Oak Creek Vista Campground and Pine Flat Campground are documented near the dramatic drop-offs of the Rim country. Named landmarks like Bear Howard and Edward Ayer suggest a landscape layered with local history and early surveying efforts. The presence of numerous sinks and tanks, such as Quarry Sink and Dewey Grade Tank, illustrates the natural drainage and catchment patterns across Newman Park and toward Howard Mountain.
