2018 Map of Sunset Crater East

About this map

Sunset Crater and the surrounding volcanic field dominate this 2018 survey of Coconino County, where the high desert is defined by ancient cinder cones and lava flows. The map illustrates the boundary of the Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument and the extensive reaching territory of the Coconino National Forest. While the northern reaches are characterized by dramatic landforms like Double Crater, Haywire Crater, and Stewart Crater, the southwestern corner shows the residential interface of Doney Park. Local roads such as Slayton Ranch Rd and Hutton Ranch Rd provide access through the valley floor. The drainage patterns of the Kanaa Wash and San Francisco Wash offer insight into how water moves through this arid, cinder-laden landscape toward the Turkey Tanks area.
