About this map

Sedona and the Village of Oak Creek (Big Park) anchor this 2014 survey of the Red Rock country, where the Coconino National Forest encompasses high desert plateaus and deep drainage systems. The landscape is dominated by massive formations such as Munds Mountain and Lee Mtn, with the iconic Schnebly Hill and Merry-Go-Round providing distinct vertical relief. The map reveals an intricate network of water management in a dry climate, evidenced by dozens of named tanks like Bear Tank, Coyote Pup Tank, and Horse Trap Tank scattered across the high ground.

Watercourses such as Dry Beaver Cr and Jacks Canyon have carved out a complex topography of draws and canyons, including Rattlesnake Canyon and Damfino Canyon. The inclusion of the Coconino and Yavapai county line highlights the political divisions within this wilderness area, while the engineering of the Schnebly Hill Rd and the Woods Canyon Bridge shows how infrastructure navigates the challenging terrain of the Mogollon Rim transition.
