About this map

The volcanic landscape of the Coconino National Forest defines this portion of Arizona, dominated by the prominent peaks of S P Mtn and the nearby S P Crater. This survey captures a terrain shaped by geological forces, where the massive depression of Colton Crater sits east of several smaller rises like Antelope Hill and Missouri Bill Hill. The arid environment is punctuated by a network of water collection points essential for ranching and wildlife, including Missouri Bill Tank, Mud Hen Tank, and Aso Tank.

Surface water is ephemeral, appearing in features such as Klostermeyer Lake, Victory Lake, and Beasley Lake, while the Beasley Ditch and Cedar Wash suggest seasonal drainage patterns. For modern navigators, the Arizona National Scenic Trail winds through the southwestern quadrant, providing a continuous path across the high desert. This 2018 record shows how the land remains primarily focused on conservation and resource management, with few permanent structures but a high density of named geographic markers and survey boundaries.
