About this map

White Horse Hills and the adjacent volcanic peaks of the Coconino National Forest define this high-altitude landscape. The Arizona National Scenic Trail traverses the center of the sheet, providing a corridor for travelers through varied terrain including Kendrick Park and the slopes of San Francisco Mtn. This area is characterized by a sophisticated network of water catchment systems, essential for land management in this arid environment, evidenced by named features like Potato Tank, Lavin Tank, and Yellow Jacket Tank.

Evidence of historical fire management and forest oversight is visible through landmarks such as the Reese Canyon Lookout. The complex topography is carved by significant drainages like Aubineau Canyon and Bear Jaw Canyon, which transition into washes such as Deadman Wash and the distinctively named Whe-yol-da-sah Wash. Numerous forest roads, including Fire RD 418 and Fire RD 151, weave through the Hochderffer Hills and provide access to remote peaks like Maverick Butte and Saddle Mtn.
