About this map

Wing Mountain and the surrounding volcanic landscape of the Coconino National Forest define this 1960s survey of the Arizona highlands. The area is marked by distinctive cinder cones and high-altitude prairies, including the expansive Government Prairie and Brannigan Flat. Geologic features are prominent throughout, most notably the Lava River Cave and the depression of Crater Lake near the Hochderffer Hills.

Resource management and ranching history are evident in the density of named water sources like Drowned Timber Tank and Maxwell Spring, essential for land use in this arid timberland. Industrial activity is indicated by several Cinder Pits and a long-distance Pipeline corridor. High points such as Antelope Hill and Little Wing Mtn provide context for the terrain's transition from the Kaibab National Forest to the volcanic fields, while the location of Camp Two Flat suggests the legacy of localized mountain settlements or seasonal work camps.
