About this map

Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument and the surrounding Coconino National Forest dominate this high-desert volcanic landscape northeast of Flagstaff. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of cinder cones and basins, including Double Crater, Haywire Crater, and the prominent Sunset Crater. These geological formations transition into the broad Kanaa Valley and the expansive Cinder Hills off-road area, showcasing a complex network of volcanic debris and drainages like Kanaa Wash.

Residential growth is centered in Doney Park at the western edge, where local roads such as Slayton Ranch Rd and Girard Rd provide access to the rural-residential outskirts. To the south, the San Francisco Wash and Turkey Tanks indicate water management and seasonal flow in an otherwise arid environment. This 2021 survey provides a contemporary record of the land use patterns where wilderness management meets the expanding rural footprint of northern Arizona.
