About this map

The high-elevation volcanic landscape of the Coconino National Forest dominates this topographic study, where the peaks of the White Horse Hills and San Francisco Mtn rise above the surrounding terrain. This region is a critical catchment area defined by a network of seasonal water sources and tanks, including Walker Lake, Kendrick Tank, and McKinney Tank. The map tracks the passage of the Arizona National Scenic Trail as it winds north through Kendrick Park, crossing volcanic landmarks like Maverick Butte and Saddle Mtn.

Evidence of the area's hydrology and recreational geography is seen in the numerous named washes and canyons, such as Whe-yol-da-sah Wash, Deadman Wash, and Abineau Canyon. These drainage features, alongside specialized routes like the Bear Jaw Trail and Abineau Trail, highlight the intersection of natural drainage and forest access. The distribution of livestock tanks such as Badger Tank and Indian Tank suggests the enduring ranching history that persists within the forest's boundaries.
