About this map

Sedona is shown during a period of significant mid-century growth, bordered by the expansive Coconino National Forest. The map details a landscape where residential expansion at Grasshopper Flat and developments like the Sedona Memorial Park meet the dramatic geological formations of the high desert. Notable structures include the iconic Chapel of the Holy Cross and the Verde Valley Sch to the south.

Transport and recreation are centered around Oak Creek, with its numerous crossings such as Chavez Crossing Campground and Baldwins Crossing. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive landmarks like Cathedral Rock, Courthouse Butte, and Bell Rock, while the southern reaches are dominated by the massive House Mountain. The inclusion of various water resources, such as John Lee Tank and Turkey Cr Tank, underscores the importance of water management in this arid environment.
