2021 Map of Sunset Pass

About this map

Coconino National Forest lands dominate this high-altitude landscape, where the distinct landforms of West Sunset Mtn and East Sunset Mtn flank the eponymous Sunset Pass. This terrain is defined by a sophisticated system of water management essential for livestock and local use, evidenced by the numerous named basins such as Upper Red Tank, Robins Tank, and Mule Tank. The geography is bisected by the route of State Highway 87, which navigates through the gaps between major elevations like Table Mtn and Mesita Knoll. Evidence of local material extraction appears at the Gravel Pit Tank, while the natural drainage of the region is carved out by Limestone Wash, Echinique Draw, and the southern reaches of Clear Cr.
