About this map

Kachina Village and Mountainaire occupy the highland plateau south of the Airport in this 2018 survey. The landscape is defined by the volcanic topography of the Coconino National Forest, where prominent features like Smith Butte, Ritter Mtn, and Howard Mtn rise above a complex network of seasonal drainages and meadows. The area's hydrology is marked by numerous tanks and springs, such as Landon Spring and Section Twentyfour Tank, which were essential for ranching and forest management.

Deep incisions like James Canyon and Kelly Canyon cut through the terrain, while the residential pockets are connected by a mix of historic routes and modern forest roads, including S Old Munds Hwy and the Kachina Trl. Notable landmarks like Harding Point and Cookstove Draw indicate the transition toward the steeper canyon country to the south. This map provides a detailed view of how residential expansion has integrated into the high-altitude ponderosa pine forest environment.
