2011 Map of Roden Crater

About this map

Roden Crater dominates the southeastern quadrant of this Coconino County landscape, illustrating the intersection of volcanic geology and late 20th-century land art. The presence of Chambers Ranch Rd and several Forest Service Rd routes indicates the managed nature of this high-desert terrain. Water remains the primary shaper of the land, though its presence is often ephemeral or underground, as seen in the system of drainage channels like Stone House Wash and Kanaa Wash. Reliable water sources are marked by specific points of interest for local history, including Pehlaki Spring, Coyote Spring, and Roden Spring. This 2011 survey captures the area during a period of international recognition for the crater, yet the map maintains focus on the practical infrastructure of the Co Hwy 395 corridor.
