About this map

Munds Mountain dominates the high-altitude landscape of the Coconino National Forest in this mid-1960s survey. The terrain is defined by a complex network of deep drainages and elevated plateaus, including Horse Mesa and Lee Mountain. Settlement is sparse, represented primarily by the Woods Ranch in the northeast and the developing infrastructure at the Stoneman Lake Interchange.

A network of historical access routes is visible, such as Schnebly Hill Road and various unnamed jeep and pack trails that navigate the steep descents into Bear Canyon and Rarick Canyon. The water distribution across this arid landscape is marked by numerous man-made tanks, such as Horse Mesa Tank and Coyote Pup Tank, highlighting the region's reliance on managed water sources for ranching and forest management. Points of interest like Robbers Roost and the Merry-Go-Round formation reflect the unique geological character of this section of the Mogollon Rim country.
