2018 Map of Wing Mountain

About this map

Wing Mtn and the Hochderffer Hills anchor this high-elevation landscape within the Coconino National Forest and Kaibab National Forest. The map documents a critical intersection of historical transportation and modern utility, where the path of Old Rte "66" skirts the southern edge near Brannigan Flat. This area is defined by its volcanic geology and water management, visible through the numerous cinder cones like Wild Bill Hill and a dense network of earthen tanks such as Dent Tank and Sayre Tank used for livestock. The eastern portion includes the edge of Fort Valley and a series of winter-designated routes, including Wing Mountain (Snow) and Pipeline #3 (Snow), reflecting the region's seasonal usage. This survey captures the transition from open grazing land at Government Prairie to the timbered slopes of the San Francisco Volcanic Field.
