About this map

Volcanic landforms and ancient archaeological sites define this landscape within the Coconino National Forest as it was surveyed in the late 1960s. The prominent Strawberry Crater and Black Bottom Crater are central features, surrounded by extensive lava flows that reach toward Haywire Flat. The terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts between Woodhouse Mesa and the drainage of Deadman Wash, which cuts across the northern section of the quadrangle.

Numerous unlabeled ruins are scattered across the mesas and along the washes, indicating a long history of human presence prior to the establishment of modern designations like the Sunset Crater National Monument. The map also identifies local infrastructure such as a Jeep Trail and the Painted Desert Vista (Picnic Area), providing a detailed look at the area's transition into a space for recreation and conservation.
