About this map

Coconino National Forest defines the volcanic and high-desert character of this landscape, dominated by the towering heights of O'Leary Peak and the dark expanse of the Bonito Lava Flow. The area is a study in water management and early commerce within the high country, featuring the Sacred Mtn Trading Post along a north-south thoroughfare and the Espil Ranch near the Deadman Wash.

Volcanic landforms are prominent throughout the terrain, from Robinson Crater and Robinson Mountain to the cinder-strewn reaches of Deadman Flat. A network of remote water sources like Old Grand Canyon Tank, Chavez Tank, and Pierre Tank supported the ranching and forestry efforts of the mid-20th century. The presence of the Sunset Crater National Monument boundary in the southeast corner marks the transition to a preserved geological landscape of immense scientific value.
