About this map

Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument and the surrounding reaches of the Coconino National Forest define this volcanic landscape. The map details a complex geological environment where the Bonito Lava Flow and numerous cinder cones, including Old Caves Crater and Lenox Crater, sit alongside the high peaks of Elden Mtn and San Francisco Mtn. This area serves as a critical transition between the high-elevation forest and the residential growth of Doney Park.

Water management is prominent through a system of cattle tanks and springs such as Jack Smith Tank and Lockett Meadow Spring, reflecting the region's ranching heritage. The Arizona National Scenic Trail winds through the western terrain, passing near Dry Lake Hills, while modern residential patterns are established along the Us HWY 89 corridor. The presence of the Cinder Lake Landfill Rd and various local routes like Koch Field Rd shows the integration of public land management and local community infrastructure.
