2014 Map of S P Mountain

About this map

The cinder cones and volcanic landforms of the San Francisco Volcanic Field dominate this portion of the Coconino National Forest. The prominent S P Crater and its namesake S P Mountain stand near Colton Crater in the eastern half of the map, illustrating the unique geological history of northern Arizona. The landscape is marked by a network of water catchment systems essential for life in this arid environment, including Beasley Lake, Victory Lake, and numerous tanks such as Ceneca Tank and Gonzales Tank. The Arizona National Scenic Trail traverses the southwestern quadrant, winding past Missouri Bill Hill and the Missouri Bill Tank. This 2014 survey records the modern intersection of historic ranching infrastructure, represented by features like Beasley Ditch, and significant natural landmarks within a protected forest boundary.
