2011 Map of Tucker Mesa SW

About this map

Meteor City and the neighboring settlement of Dennison anchor this portion of the northern Arizona high desert, situated along a critical transportation corridor. The landscape is defined by its infrastructure and water management, featuring a series of catchments such as Beacon Tank, Bull Tank, and Brown Tanks that support ranching operations like Meteor Crater Ranch. This 2011 survey captures the area as Interstate 40 bypasses the older routes, though local access remains via Red Gap Ranch Rd and Meteor Crater Rd. The presence of the Chilson Landing Strip and the Dennison Interchange highlights the area's role as a transition point for travelers moving between the region's prominent geological landmarks and larger transit hubs.
