About this map

The high plateaus and deep drainages of Coconino National Forest dominate this landscape, which centers on the dramatic relief of Walker Mountain and the expansive Walker Basin. This area reflects a long history of seasonal movement and water management in a high-elevation arid environment, evidenced by the dense network of water tanks like Walker Rim Tank and Goswick Lake Tank that support livestock and wildlife across the northern ranges.

Historically significant routes cross the southern reaches, most notably the General Crook Trail, which follows the rim country. To the south, the terrain drops sharply into West Clear Creek Canyon, a rugged boundary between the northern sections and Black Mountain. Within the Cedar Bench wilderness area, features like Thirteenmile Rock Butte and the Devils Windpipe highlight a landscape defined by volcanic geology and eroded basaltic formations.
