About this map

Wing Mountain and the Hochderffer Hills dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Coconino National Forest and Kaibab National Forest during the mid-1960s. The region is defined by volcanic features, most notably the Lava River Cave and multiple Cinder Pits, indicating the geological character of the San Francisco volcanic field. The map reveals an essential network of water management for ranching or forestry, including Malpais Tank, Wild Bill Tank, and Drowned Timber Tank.

Human activity is concentrated at Camp Two Flat and across the broad expanses of Government Prairie and Brannigan Flat. Significant peaks like Antelope Hill and Wild Bill Hill rise above the flats, while a prominent Pipeline cuts across the southern terrain, connecting remote points near Maxwell Spring and South Wing Tank. The presence of numerous named tanks and springs highlights the critical nature of water sources in this high-desert forest environment.
