About this map

Sacred Mountain Trading Post stands along a primary north-south corridor through this high-elevation landscape, where the geological history of the San Francisco Volcanic Field is on full display. The area is defined by a series of prominent volcanic features, including the rising summit of O'Leary Peak, the wide Robinson Crater, and the dark expanse of the Bonita Lava Flow. These landmarks, along with the O'Leary Peak Lookout Tower, provided critical vantage points for forestry and surveillance in the Coconino National Forest.

Evidence of early ranching and water management is seen in the numerous named tanks such as Espil Ranch, Old Grand Canyon Tank, and Tank Eight-Eight, which supported livestock across the arid stretches of Deadman Flat and the Sinagua Valley. The terrain transitions from the deep cut of Bear Jaw Canyon to the elevated surface of Deadman Mesa, illustrating the varied topography of this volcanic region during the early twenty-first century.
