2018 Map of Sunset Pass

About this map

Sunset Pass serves as the focal point of this high-desert landscape in Coconino National Forest. The terrain is defined by dramatic mesas and ridges, including West Sunset Mtn, East Sunset Mtn, and the distinctive Table Mtn. This area shows a complex network of water management features essential for life in the arid Arizona interior, where numerous tanks like Fisher Tank and Chaucey Tank are strategically positioned to capture runoff from the drainages of Jacks Canyon and Limestone Wash. To the south, the deep incision of Clear Cr and the unique Echinique Draw showcase the erosional power that has shaped the Coconino plateau. The presence of features such as Dick Hart Tank suggests a history of cattle ranching and land use tied to these isolated water sources.
